A Neural Network Structure Evolution Algorithm Based on e, m Projections and Model Selection Criterion

摘要

According to biological and neurophysiologic research, there is a bloom bursting of synapses in brain’s physiological growing process of newborn infants. These jillion nerve connections will be pruned and the dendrites of neurons can change their conformation in infants’ proceeding cognition process. Simulating this pruning process, a new neural network structure evolution algorithm is proposed based on e and m projections in information geometry and model selection criterion. This structure evolution process is formulated in iterative e, m projections and stopped by using model selection criterion. Experimental results prove the validation of the algorithm.
