New SMGrNN model adapts neural network architecture during learning

Researchers have introduced the Self-Motivated Growing Neural Network (SMGrNN), a novel gradient-trained controller designed to adapt its architecture dynamically during the learning process. Unlike traditional multilayer perceptrons that require pre-defined capacity, SMGrNN utilizes a Structural Plasticity Module (SPM) to monitor weight update statistics and trigger neuron insertion or pruning in real-time. Evaluations on control benchmarks demonstrated that SMGrNN achieves comparable or superior returns with reduced variance and task-appropriate network sizes, highlighting the independent value of local structural plasticity in gradient-trained networks.
