28 Sep 2020 | | Abstract: | Binary Neural Network (BNN) shows its predominance in reducing the complexity
of deep neural networks. However, it suffers severe performance degradation.
One of the major impediments is the large quantization error between the
full-precision weight vector and its binary vector. Previous works focus on
compensating for the norm gap while leaving the angular bias hardly touched. In
this paper, for the first time, we explore the influence of angular bias on the
quantization error and then introduce a Rotated Binary Neural Network (RBNN),
which considers the angle alignment between the full-precision weight vector
and its binarized version. At the beginning of each training epoch, we propose
to rotate the full-precision weight vector to its binary vector to reduce the
angular bias. To avoid the high complexity of learning a large rotation matrix,
we further introduce a bi-rotation formulation that learns two smaller rotation
matrices. In the training stage, we devise an adjustable rotated weight vector
for binarization to escape the potential local optimum. Our rotation leads to
around 50% weight flips which maximize the information gain. Finally, we
propose a training-aware approximation of the sign function for the gradient
backward. Experiments on CIFAR-10 and ImageNet demonstrate the superiorities of
RBNN over many state-of-the-arts. Our source code, experimental settings,
training logs and binary models are available at
