Monotonicity Hints
: Neural networks are competitive tools for classification problems. In this context, a hint is any piece of prior side information about the classification. Common examples are mo...

Early Stopping-But When?
Abstract. Validation can be used to detect when over tting starts during supervised training of a neural network; training is then stopped before convergence to avoid the over ttin...

Are Hopfield Networks Faster than Conventional Computers?
It is shown that conventional computers can be exponentially faster than planar Hopfield networks: although there are planar Hopfield networks that take exponential time to conver...
