Abstract: A neural network training method in the artificial intelligence field includes: inputting training data into a neural network; determining a first input space of a second target layer in the neural network based on a first output space of a first target layer in the neural network; and inputting a feature vector in the first input space into the second target layer, where a capability of fitting random noise by the neural network when the feature vector in the first input space is input into the second target layer is lower than a capability of fitting the random noise by using an output space that is in the neural network and that exists when a feature vector in the first output space is input into the second target layer. This application helps avoid an overfitting phenomenon that occurs when the neural network processes an image, text, or speech.
