Deep Learning Quantizer Function

Hello,

My question is about deep learning quantizer tool of MATLAB. Is it possible te get MATLAB function of network after quantization. I know we can get MATLAB function of shallow networks with "genfunction".

Thanks in advance

Hi Burak,

I realize that you want to get a MATLAB function out of a deep neural network after quantization, just like you can get one out of a shallow network with "genFunction".

As of now, there is no functionality to get a MATLAB function out of a deep neural network post quantization, but there is a workaround if you want to generate a deployable code for a microcontroller or a system; using MATLAB Coder.

The steps are:

1. Create your neural network, load your dataset.
2. Quantize the net, and validate it to make sure it is working as expected.
3. Use the MATLAB Coder functionality to generate a C/C++ code which is deployable on machines.

To know how to quantize the networks, please refer to these documentations:

Hope this helps!
