Reviews: Latent Weights Do Not Exist: Rethinking Binarized Neural Network Optimization

Neural Information Processing Systems 

This paper proposed a new training method for neural networks with binary weights. The main idea is to not use the existing "latent weights approach" which treats the weights as continuous, rather a new method that relies on the sign of the weights. The proposed approach is based on momentum. Before rebuttal, the authors found the paper to be original, novel, and also simpler than existing methods. They had some concerns regarding the experiments and also a few other small concerns.
