Method of enhancing the performance of a neural network
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for optimizing a training set comprised of a large plurality of training pairs for use in training a neural network, said method comprising the steps of:
- a) training a neural network using said training set;
b) measuring a generalization error of the trained neural network;
c) removing a training pair from the training set to produce a reduced training set;
d) training the neural network using the reduced training set;
e) measuring a generalization error of the trained reduced training set;
f) reinserting the removed training pair into the training set when the measured generalization error for the reduced set is not less than that obtained for a non-reduced training set;
g) permanently removing the removed training pair from the training set when the measured generalization error for the reduced set is less than that obtained for the non-reduced training set; and
h) performing steps c), d), e), f) and g) above for each non-reduced training pair in the training set.

Abstract
A method for enhancing the performance of an artificially intelligent system employing a neural network by proving an optimized training set for training the neural network. The optimized training set is produced by identifying and removing inaccurate training pairs in the training set.
