This is adding int16/uint16 in quantization, since CNTK quantized speech model is using 16-bit in the first FC layer to ensure the accuracy. The PR is also clarifying the overflow policy, 1) production MUST not overflow, 2) Accumulation may overflow in 32 bits if the input is 8 bits or in 64 bits if the input is 16 bits.
@KeDengMS @liwchang let me know your thoughts please, especially the overflow clarification. Should we simplify it as "Accumulation may overflow in 32 bits in any case."? Thanks!
