Abstract: This paper proposes a method which succinctly structures neural networks having a few thousand weights. Here structuring means weight sharing where weights in a network are divided into clusters and weights within a cluster have the same value. We newly introduce a weight sharing technique called bidirectional clustering of weights (BCW), together with second-order optimal criteria for both cluster merging and splitting. Our experiments using two artificial data sets showed that the BCW method works well to find a succinct network structure from a neural network having about 2000 weights in both regression and classification problems. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
