Decreasing-Rate Pruning Optimizes the Construction of Efficient and Robust Distributed Networks.

Robust, efficient, and low-cost networks are advantageous in both biological and engineered systems. During neural network development in the brain, synapses are massively over-produced and then pruned-back over time. This strategy is not commonly used when designing engineered networks, since addin...
