Definitions

  • Network architecture and / or the neurons in one or more layers of the ANN are optimally used and / or fully utilized.
  • the exact definition of "efficient" results from the specific application in which the ANN is used.
  • a measure of the quality that the ANN and / or a sub-area of the ANN has achieved overall within a previous period is determined at any point in time during the training, which otherwise takes place in any known manner.
  • the quality can include, for example, training progress, utilization of the neurons of a layer or another sub-area of the ANN, utilization of the neurons of the ANN as a whole, as well as any, for example weighted, combinations thereof.
  • the exact definition of “quality” thus also results from the specific application.

  • One or more neurons are evaluated on the basis of a measure for their respective quantitative contributions to the determined quality. Measures with which the evaluated neurons are trained in the further course of the training, and / or positions of these neurons in the ANN are based on determined by the ratings of the neurons. These measures can then be carried out in further training.
  • Neurons in the ANN can also continue to apply for the inference phase, i.e. for the later effective operation of the ANN after training.
  • the measure for the quality can be evaluated as a weighted or unweighted sum of quantitative contributions from individual neurons.
  • connections between these neurons can, for example, lead to an optimization goal for training the ANN. Should it become apparent during training that, despite the explicit request, certain neurons or connections between neurons are not optimally utilized, these neurons or connections can be deactivated during training. This has various advantages over a subsequent “pruning” after completing the training.
  • the restriction to the actually relevant neurons and connections is in turn important for the efficient implementation of the fully trained ANN on hardware.
  • the specification with regard to the available hardware is often already established before training of the ANN is started.

  • Side effects of the intervention such as overfitting on the training data, poor generalization of the ANN to unknown situations or an increased susceptibility to manipulation of the inference by presenting an "adverse example", can be significantly reduced.
  • random deactivation of a certain percentage of neurons during training (“random dropout”), this does not mean that a proportion of the learned information corresponding to this percentage remains unused. The reason for this is that the deactivation of the neurons or connections is motivated from the outset by the lack of relevance of the neurons or connections in question for the quality.
  • the previous period advantageously comprises at least one epoch of the training, i.e. a period in which each of the available learning data sets, each comprising learning values for the input variables and associated learning values for the output variables, was used once.
  • the determined quantitative contributions of the neurons to quality can then be better compared. It is quite possible that certain neurons of the ANN are “specialized” in a good treatment of certain situations occurring in the input variables, i.e. that these situations are particularly “suited” to these neurons. If a period is considered in which predominantly this

  • a change in a cost function (loess function), the optimization of which the training of the ANN is aimed at, is included in the measure of quality over the past period. This ensures that the actions taken in response to the evaluation of the neurons do not conflict with the ultimate goal of training the ANN.

  • the dropout tensor indicates for each layer k of the ANN and for each iteration step tn which neurons of the layer k were active or not in the iteration step tn. thus serves to take into account a possible temporary deactivation of individual neurons for individual iteration steps (dropout).

  • the temporary deactivation of the powerful neurons in particular forces the ANN to also involve the weaker neurons in the formation of the ultimate output variables.
