ARCHITECTURAL AUGMENTATION OF NEURAL NETWORKS USING EVALUATED SPECIALTY NODE UNITS
ARCHITECTURAL AUGMENTATION OF NEURAL NETWORKS USING EVALUATED SPECIALTY NODE UNITS
A system and method for controlling a nodal network. The method includes estimating an effect on the objective caused by the existence or non-existence of a direct connection between a pair of nodes and changing a structure of the nodal network based at least in part on the estimate of the effect. A nodal network includes a strict partially ordered set, a weighted directed acyclic graph, an artificial neural network, and/or a layered feed-forward neural network.
