  • Sparse local connected artificial neural network architectures involving hybrid local/nonlocal structure
    Patent number: 12293290
    Abstract: The present invention in a first embodiment is a method of constructing a geometry-induced sparse local connected network architecture, the method comprising: choosing a geometry, choosing a direction of data flow in the geometry, choosing a node set as a finite subset of the geometry, choosing local edges between each node and nodes in preceding layers with respect to the geometry and direction of data flow, and choosing sparse nonlocal edges between each node and nodes in preceding layers with respect to the geometry and direction of data flow.
