Therefore, we propose InstantNet to automatically generate and deploy instantaneously switchable-precision networks which operate at variable bit-widths. Extensive experiments show that the proposed InstantNet consistently outperforms state-of-the-art designs.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.10853v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2104.10853v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"instantnet-automated-generation-and","repo_url":"https://github.com/RICE-EIC/InstantNet","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
