Why can 2 times 3 sometimes equal 7 with Android's Neural Network API?
Why can 2 times 3 sometimes equal 7 with Android's Neural Network API? Jan 23, 2021 Two times three equals six or at least that’s what I naively expected. It is well-known that floating point matrix multiplication can result in a variety of surprises. But did you know that quantized neural networks are not deterministic as well? A quantized neural network uses integers to multiply weights and activations in a neural network. Thus, the naive logic goes, two and three represented and multiplied as integers should always give the exact same result, namely six. However, according to the Android...
