Pruning Strategies for the MTiling Constructive Learning Algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a framework for incorporating pruning strategies in the MTiling constructive neural network leaming algorithm. Pruning involves elimination of redundant elements (connection weights or neurons) from a network a d is nf considerable practical interest. We describe three elementary sensitivity based strategies for pruning neurons. Experimental results demonstrate a inoderate to significant reduction in the network size without compromising the network’s generalization p e t f o m n c e .

متن کاملSynaptic Pruning Mechanisms in Learning
1 –Independent Work Report, Spring 2015– Synaptic Pruning Mechanisms in Learning Abstract Synaptic pruning is the process of removing synapses in neural networks and has been considered to be a method of learning. During the developmental stages of the brain, synaptic pruning helps regulate efficiency and energy conservation. However, a destructive algorithm seems to be counter-intuitive to “le...
