Abstract

Neural networks can be trained to work well for particular tasks, but hardly ever we know why they work so well. Due to the complicated architectures and an enormous number of parameters we usually have a well-working black box and it is hard if not impossible to make targeted changes in a trained model. My work is focused on understanding the behaviour of feedforward neural networks when classifying particular data. The method rests in removing unimportant synapses from a trained network, while the classification accuracy is kept. Based on my experience, over 90% of the synapses are usually redundant in fully-connected networks.
