Abstract
A method and apparatus with neural network control are provided. In one general aspect, a method is performed by at least one processor of an apparatus, the method includes selecting neural networks from among available neural networks with respective input image resolutions, including plural resolutions, wherein the selected neural networks are selected based on a sum of amounts of mutual information between the selected neural networks being minimal and based on a limiting condition of a use of the available neural networks, and configuring the available neural networks to perform an inference on input data, wherein the configuring is based on the combination of the selected neural networks.
