Binary Weights

Definition

Binary weights are numerical values restricted to either 0 or 1, used in certain computational models and neural networks. These weights simplify calculations by eliminating floating-point arithmetic, thereby reducing memory usage and computational power demands, especially in hardware implementations. They represent the connection strength between neurons in a highly constrained manner, often employed in binary neural networks for efficient processing. This restriction facilitates deployment on resource-limited devices and accelerates inference operations.
