  • Patent number: 11580406
    Abstract: Provided is an artificial neural network learning apparatus for deep learning. The apparatus includes an input unit configured to acquire an input data or a training data, a memory configured to store the input data, the training data, and a deep learning artificial neural network model, and a processor configured to perform computation based on the artificial neural network model, in which the processor sets the initial weight depending on the number of nodes belonging to a first layer and the number of nodes belonging to a second layer of the artificial neural network model, and determines the initial weight by compensation by multiplying a standard deviation (?) by a square root of a reciprocal of a probability of a normal probability distribution for a remaining section except for a section in which an output value of the activation function converges to a specific value.
