Patent ID: 11960999
Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. An apparatus for processing a neural network, the apparatus comprising:
a processor configured to perform a convolution operation for a convolutional network using a convolution operator and a deconvolution operation for a deconvolutional network using the convolution operator;
wherein the processor is configured to perform the deconvolution operation by:
obtaining an input feature map and a first kernel of the deconvolutional network;
generating a transpose kernel by performing a transpose operation on the first kernel and generating sub-kernels by performing a split operation on the transpose kernel; and
generating, by using the convolution operator, an output feature map of the deconvolutional network by merging results of a convolution operation between the input feature map and the sub-kernels.
