Abstract

Automateddesign methods for convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have recently beendeveloped in order to increase the design productivity. We propose aneuroevolution method capable of evolving and optimizing CNNs with respect tothe classification error and CNN complexity (expressed as the number of tunableCNN parameters), in which the inference phase can partly be executed usingfixed point operations to further reduce power consumption. Experimentalresults are obtained with TinyDNN framework and presented using two common imageclassification benchmark problems - MNIST and CIFAR-10.
