Deep neural networks have changed the current algorithms’ results in applications such as object classification, image segmentation or natural language processing. To increase their accuracy, they became more complex and more costly in terms of storage, computation time and en-ergy consumption. This paper attacks the problem of storage and presents the advantages of using different number representations as fixed-point and posit numbers for deep neural network inference. The deep neural networks were trained using the proposed framework Low Precision Machine Learning (LPML) with 32-bit IEEE754. The storage was first optimized by the usage of knowledge distillation and then by modifying layer by layer the number representation together with the precision. The first significant results were made by modifying the number representation of the network but keeping the same precision per layer. For a 2-layer network (2LayerNet) using 16-bit Posit, the accuracy is 93.45%, close to 93.47%, the accuracy for using 32-bit IEEE754. Using the 8-bit Posit decreases the accuracy by 1.29%, but at the same time, it reduces the storage space by 75%. The usage of fixed point representation showed a small tolerance in the number of bits used for the fractional part. Using a 4-4 bit fixed point (4 bits for the integer part and 4 bits for the fractional part) reduces the storage used by 75% but decreases accuracy as low as 67.21%. When at least 8 bits are used for the fractional part, the results are similar to the 32-bit IEEE754. To increase accuracy before reducing precision, knowledge distillation was used. A ResNet18 network gained an 0.87% increase in accuracy by using a ResNet34 as a professor. By changing the number representation system and precision per layer, the storage was reduced by 43.47%, and the accuracy decreased by 0.26%. In conclusion, with the usage of knowledge distillation and change of number representation and precision per layer, the Resnet18 network had 66.75% sm
