Deep Neural Networks Approximation

The goal of this work is to find out the impact of approximated computing on accuracy of deep neural network, specifically neural networks for image classification. A version of framework Caffe called Ristretto-caffe was chosen for neural network implementation, which was extended for the use of approximated operations. Approximated computing was used for multiplication in forward pass for convolution. Approximated components from Evoapproxlib were chosen for this work
