Adaptively training of neural networks via an intelligent learning management system

Abstract

Computer systems and computer-implemented methods train a neural network, by: (a) computing for each datum in a set of training data, activation values for nodes in the neural network and estimates of partial derivatives of an objective function for the neural network for the nodes in the neural network; (b) selecting a target node of the neural network and/or a target datum in the set of training data; (c) selecting a target-specific improvement model for the neural network, wherein the target-specific improvement model, when added to the neural network, improves performance of the neural network for the target node and/or the target datum, as the case may be; (d) training the target-specific improvement model; (e) merging the target-specific improvement model with the neural network to form an expanded neural network; and (f) training the expanded neural network.
