Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for receiving, by a neural network (NN), a dataset for generating features from the dataset. A first set of features is computed from the dataset using at least a feature layer of the NN. The first set of features i) is characterized by a measure of informativeness; and ii) is computed such that a size of the first set of features is compressible into a second set of features that is smaller in size than the first set of features and that has a same measure of informativeness as the measure of informativeness of the first set of features. The second set of features if generated from the first set of features using a compression method that compresses the first set of features to generate the second set of features.

Embodiments relate to a neural processor circuit that includes a neural engine and a post-processing circuit. The neural engine performs a computational task related to a neural network to generate a processed value. The post-processing circuit includes a random bit generator, an adder circuit and a rounding circuit. The random bit generator generates a random string of bits. The adder circuit adds the random string of bits to a version of the processed value to generate an added value. The rounding circuit truncates the added value to generate an output value of the computational task. The random bit generator may include a linear-feedback shift register (LFSR) that generates random numbers based on a seed. The seed may be derived from a master seed that is specific to a task of the neural network.
