Are CNNs reliable enough for critical applications? An exploratory study

International audienceResource-constrained CNN implementations are subject to various reliability threats. This article provides an exploratory study investigating the impact of faults (soft errors modeled as bit flips) across the parameters of CNNs and the impact on the CNN weights, which can be used to create reliability-aware design guidelines. -Theocharis Theocharides, University of Cyprus -Muhammad Shafique, Technische Universitat Wie
