Elagage d'un perceptron multicouches : utilisation de l'analyse de la variance de la sensibilité des paramètres

The stucture determination of a neural network for the modelisation of a system remain the core of the problem. Within this framework, we propose a pruning algorithm of the network based on the use of the analysis of the sensitivity of the variance of all the parameters of the network. This algorithm will be tested on two examples of simulation and its performances will be compared with three other algorithms of pruning of the literature
