New method uses Gaussian smoothing for quantized neural networks

Researchers have developed a method using Gaussian averaging as a smooth approximation for quantized neural networks. This technique, when applied under bounded local oscillation, provides a dimension-dependent bound on the difference between the original function and its smoothed version. The study also presents closed-form Gaussian averages for common activation functions like ReLU and the sign function, demonstrating their application on a high-dimensional binary perceptron model.

    Local Stability and Gaussian Smoothing of Quantized Neural Networks

    arXiv:2607.20153v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study Gaussian averaging as a smooth surrogate for quantized neural models. Under bounded local oscillation, we derive a local dimension-dependent bound on |f-g|, linking Gaussian smoothing to the stability analysis of discontinu…
