- Abstract:
-
For it is difficult to determine the numbers of hidden neurons in the application of neural networks, a fast unit pruning algorithm for the structure of neural network was presented in the paper. The algorithm which based on optim al brain surgeon(OBS)eliminated the unneeded hidden neurons directly, in which way carried out the selforganization design on the structure of neural networ k s. The results of comparative studies with OBS showed that the fast unit pruning algorithm could reduce both neural network complexity and training time.
