1. A method of processing data in a neural network, the method comprising:
identifying a sparsity among information, included in input data, based on valid information or invalid information included in the input data;
generating a rearranged input data by rearranging the input data based on the sparsity among the information indicating a distribution of the invalid values included in the input data; and
generating, by performing a convolution operation on the rearranged input data and weights of the neural network, an output data.
