New method adapts neural network depth using optimal control and error estimation

Researchers have developed a novel method for adapting neural network architectures by adjusting depth based on error estimation. This approach treats neural network training as an optimal control problem, enabling rigorous error estimates that pinpoint where approximation error is highest across network layers. By inserting new layers at these critical points, the network can more effectively learn complex variations in data. The method utilizes dual weighted residual methodology from finite element analysis to provide computable upper bounds on functional error, outperforming existing adaptation techniques in generalization performance on scientific datasets, including the Navier-Stokes equation.
