The proposed paper presents QuEE, a dynamic network that combines quantization and early exit strategies to reduce computational resources during inference in machine learning models. This novel approach introduces a soft early exiting mechanism, allowing for reduced computation continuation rather than binary decision-making. The method relies on accurate prediction of potential accuracy improvement through further computation, which is solved through a principled formulation. Empirical evaluation on 4 classification datasets demonstrates the effectiveness of QuEE, highlighting its potential to tackle complex tasks while reducing computational requirements.

Machine learning models can do amazing things, but they often need lots of computer power to work correctly. To fix this problem, scientists have developed ways to make these models use less computer power. One way is called quantization, which makes the model’s calculations more simple. Another way is called dynamic networks, which change how much computation is needed based on what kind of data it’s looking at. In this study, researchers created a new type of dynamic network that combines both methods. This new approach can adjust its level of complexity depending on the situation, making it more efficient and accurate. The scientists tested their method on four different types of classification tasks and found that it worked well in most cases.
