Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method for training parameters of a network. The method receives an MT network having multiple layers of computation nodes that use first sets of weight values. Each computation node of a first layer computes an output value by computing an intermediate value based on a set of input values and a set of weight values and computing a node output value by applying an activation function to the intermediate value. The method replaces the first layer with a second layer of computation nodes followed by a third layer of computation nodes. The replacement involves (i) decomposing the sets of weight values of the first layer into second sets of weight values for the second layer and third sets of weight values for the third layer and (ii) inserting into the network a set of additional activation functions for the second layer.
