ADAPTATION OF NEURAL NETWORKS TO NEW OPERATING SITUATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18527143 titled 'ADAPTATION OF NEURAL NETWORKS TO NEW OPERATING SITUATIONS

The patent application describes a method for adapting a neural network to process new measurement data after being trained on existing examples.

  • A working space is provided for low-dimensional representations of parameter vectors.
  • An image assigns each low-dimensional representation a parameter vector.
  • Candidate representations are set up in the working space.
  • Candidate representations are translated into candidate parameter vectors using the image.
  • A predetermined quality function is evaluated for each candidate parameter vector based on the neural network's output for the new data.
  • The candidate parameter vector with the best quality function value is considered the optimal adaptation for the neural network.

Original Abstract Submitted

A method for adapting a neural network for processing measurement data, which network has been trained on training examples, and whose behavior is characterized by a parameter vector, to a new record of measurement data. In the method: a working space for low-dimensional representations of parameter vectors and an image which assigns to each low-dimensional representation a parameter vector are provided; in the working space, candidate representations are set up; the candidate representations are translated using the image into candidate parameter vectors; for each candidate parameter vector, a predetermined quality function is evaluated, which depends on the output of the neural network for the record in the state in which the candidate parameter vector has replaced the original parameter vector; a candidate parameter vector, for which the quality function assumes the best value, is evaluated as the optimal adaptation of the parameters of the neural network to the record.
