Neuton – the First Neural Network Framework Designed to Create Models with Minimal Size and without Loss of Accuracy

Neuton is based on a unique patented machine learning algorithm that forgoes error backpropagation and stochastic gradient descent, growing the network structure neuron by neuron. This helps to build neural networks without compromising between accuraсy and size:

with the excellent generalizing capability

with minimal size, often less than 1 Kb

without loss of accuracy

without compression techniques

5 Unique Features of Neuton Network Framework

Selective connections

Unique algorithm

Automatic structure growth

No manual search

Constant cross-validation

Selective approach to the connected features

A selective approach to the connected features helps to establish only necessary neuron connections while creating a model, not allowing the structure to grow randomly.

Unique patented global optimization algorithm

Neuton's algorithm enables the platform not to base its computation on error backpropagation and stochastic gradient descent. It provides the opportunity to successfully create compact models, minimizing the likelihood of hitting local minima.

Automatic neuron-by-neuron structure growth

The principle of neuron-by-neuron structure growth helps Neuton to learn from the general features to the most specific ones, and select the optimal model size and high accuracy, required to solve the task.

No manual search for neural network parameters

Neuton eliminates the time-consuming random manual search for neural network parameters (the number of layers and neurons in a layer, type of activation function, batch size, learning rate, etc.), and allows you to quickly and efficiently find the optimal structure.

Constant cross-validation

The step-by-step growth of the neural network makes it possible to cross-validate with the addition of each neuron and to increase the generalizing capabilities of the model.

Neuton vs. Non-neural network algorithms

This comparison illustrates the ability to achieve compact sizes while maintaining fast inference with the help of neural networks. This opens up wide opportunities for working with more complex tasks where non-neural network algorithms show worse performance.
