| Abstract: | A method and computer system for managing a neural network. Data is sent
into an input layer in a portion of layers of nodes in the neural
network. The data moves on an encode path through the portion such that
an output layer in the portion outputs encoded data. The encoded data is
sent into the output layer on a decode path through the portion back to
the input layer to obtain a reconstruction of the data by the input
layer. A determination is made as to whether an undesired amount of error
has occurred in the output layer based on the data sent into the input
layer and the reconstruction of the data. A number of new nodes is added
to the output layer when a determination is present that the undesired
amount of the error occurred, enabling reducing the error using the
number of the new nodes. |
