Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 29:
30. The method of claim 20, wherein the kernel comprises at least one filter;
the filter comprises at least one kernel map corresponding to at least one input channel, the kernel map comprising kernel elements;
the input comprises at least one input feature map corresponding to the input channel, the input feature map comprising input elements;
the generating of the approximate output comprises:
performing a first operation between a first portion of kernel elements in a first kernel map corresponding to a first input channel and at least one input element corresponding to the first portion;
performing a second operation between a second portion of kernel elements in a second kernel map corresponding to a second input channel and at least one input element corresponding to the second portion after the first operation is performed; and
generating an output element corresponding to the first kernel map and the second kernel map based on a result of the first operation and a result of the second operation; and

the selecting comprises selecting the survival network in the convolutional layer based on the output element.
