Apparatus for operations at maxout layer of neural networks
Aspects for maxout layer operations in neural network are described herein. The aspects may include a load/store unit configured to retrieve input data from a storage module. The input data may be formatted as a three-dimensional vector that includes one or more feature values stored in a feature dimension of the three-dimensional vector. The aspects may further include a pruning unit configured to divide the one or more feature values into one or more feature groups based on one or more data ranges and select a maximum feature value from each of the one or more feature groups. Further still, the pruning unit may be configured to delete, in each of the one or more feature groups, feature values other than the maximum feature value and update the input data with the one or more maximum feature values.
