How do you mean &quot;much better compression&quot;? Won&#x27;t replacing 32bit multiplies by bitwise operations save 32x the memory[1]? Han et al. show not only 35-49x improvement, but on much more difficult benchmarks (MNIST vs Alexnet&#x2F;VGG).<p>Combining these two techniques would be really cool and if the bitwise network can work with larger, more complex networks like VGG would be a massive game-changer, allowing these nets to fit on almost any device.<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;minjekim.com&#x2F;demo_bnn.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;minjekim.com&#x2F;demo_bnn.html</a>
