A previous paper by Paul and Nelson [(2021). J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 149(6), 4119-4133] presented the application of the singular value decomposition (SVD) to the weight matrices of multilayer perceptron (MLP) networks as a pruning strategy to remove weight parameters. This work builds on the previous technique and presents a method of reducing the size of a hidden layer by applying a similar SVD algorithm. Results show that by reducing the neurons in the hidden layer, a significant amount of training time is saved compared to the algorithm presented in the previous paper while no or little accuracy is being lost compared to the original MLP model.

Abstract

A previous paper by Paul and Nelson [(2021). J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 149(6), 4119-4133] presented the application of the singular value decomposition (SVD) to the weight matrices of multilayer perceptron (MLP) networks as a pruning strategy to remove weight parameters. This work builds on the previous technique and presents a method of reducing the size of a hidden layer by applying a similar SVD algorithm. Results show that by reducing the neurons in the hidden layer, a significant amount of training time is saved compared to the algorithm presented in the previous paper while no or little accuracy is being lost compared to the original MLP model.
