Abstract: A computer-implemented method and a system for configuring and implementing an artificial neural network. The method for configuring includes initializing an artificial neural network; and training, based on a training operation, the artificial neural network so as to form an adaptively deployable artificial neural network defining a plurality of nested artificial neural sub-networks. Each artificial neural sub-network is optimal for a respective resource configuration. The method for implementing includes determining an optimal configuration of the artificial neural network for deployment at an electrical device, and deploying the artificial neural network with the optimal configuration at the electrical device.
