An empirical study on improving the speed and generalization of neural networks using a parallel circuit approach

One of the common problems of neural networks, especially those with many layers, consists of their lengthy training time. We attempt to solve this problem at the algorithmic level, proposing a simple parallel design which is inspired by the parallel circuits found in the human retina. To avoid larg...
