Abstract
The present disclosure is drawn to the reduction of parameters in fully connected layers of neural networks. For a layer whose output is defined by y=Wx, where y is the output vector, x is the input vector, and W is a matrix of connection parameters, vectors uand vare defined and submatrices Ware computed as the outer product of uand v, so that W=v⊗u, and W is obtained by appending submatrices W.
