We introduce a novel optimality measure for neural network architecture selection. This framework extends existing methods like GOBS and offers computational improvements for pruning algorithms.

Area of Science:

  • Machine Learning
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Computer Science

Background:

  • Neural network architecture selection is crucial for performance.
  • Existing methods like GOBS have limitations in their theoretical range of validity.
  • Quantifying the optimality of architecture changes is an open challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Introduce a new measure of optimality for neural network architecture selection algorithms.
  • Develop pruning algorithms based on novel metrics in parameter and neuron space.
  • Extend the theoretical foundation and explain experimental results of existing algorithms like GOBS.

Main Methods:

  • Define optimality based on the distance between network probability distributions.
  • Derive two pruning algorithms: one using parameter space metric, another using neuron space metric.
