Claim 13:
14. The method of claim 1, wherein the quantisation block is configured to transform a value of the set of values input to the layer by:
(i) thresholding the value to a range of representable values for the fixed point number format for the quantisation block to generate a thresholded value; and adding a random number between −α and α to the thresholded value, wherein α is half a distance between representable numbers in the fixed point number format for the quantisation block; or
(ii) adding a random number between −α and α to the value to generate a randomized value; and thresholding the randomized value to a range of representable values for the fixed point number format for the quantisation block.
