SSKD: Stepwise Self-Knowledge Distillation for Binary Neural Networks in Keyword Spotting

2026 · Applied Sciences

The hardware power-aware keyword spotting (KWS) implementation requires small memory footprint, low-complex computation, and high accuracy performances. Binary neural networks (BNNs) naturally satisfy these constraints. They quantize both weights and activations to 1-bit. This reduces …
