Abstract

Many artificial neural networks in practical use can be demonstrated not to be fault tolerant; this can result in disasters when localized errors occur in critical parts of these networks. In this paper, we develop methods for measuring the sensitivity of links and nodes of a feedforward neural network and implement a technique to ensure the development of neural networks that satisfy well-defined robustness criteria. Experimental observations indicate that performance degradation in our robust feedforward network is significantly less than a randomly trained feedforward network of the same size by an order of magnitude.
