Abstract
Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for configuring a network with multiple nodes. Each node generates an output value based on received input values and a set of weights that are previously trained to each have an initial value. For each weight, the method calculates a factor that represents a loss of accuracy to the network due to changing the weight from its initial value to a different value in a set of allowed values for the weight. Based on the factors, the method identifies a subset of the weights that have factors with values below a threshold. The method changes the values of each weight from its initial value to one of the values in its set of allowed values. The values of the identified subset are all changed to zero. The method trains the weights beginning with the changed values for each weight.
