  1. Optimal Brain Surgeon Algorithm Randy Skala ECE 539 Section 1

  2. Summary of Algorithm • Train the multilayer perceptron to a minimum in mean square error • Compute the inverse Hessian (H-1) • Eliminate weights will small saliencies • Repeat until no more weights can be deleted without a large increase in the mean-square error.

  3. Computational Hurdles of the OBS algorithm • Computing the inverse Hessian matrix • Recursive formula has order greater than n2 • Many Recursions are needed for convergence • Updating the Weights, Hessian matrix and Saliencies every time a weight is eliminated • Many weights are typically eliminated

  4. Simplifying the OBS • Estimate dF/dw by finding the change in the cost function when each weight is eliminated • Use the initial Hessian matrix for all updates • Do “batch elimination” of weights

  5. Results • Incomplete • Results so far seem to show that classification problems are handled well with the simplification. • Estimation problems do not seem to work as well.
