This paper proposes a novel method for repairing compressed Feedforward Neural Networks (FNNs) by evaluating the equivalence between two neural networks. The approach develops a new neural network equivalence evaluation method that computes the output discrepancy between two networks, allowing it to quantify the output difference produced by compression procedures. By initializing a training set based on this computed discrepancy and re-training the compressed FNN, the paper demonstrates the effectiveness of its proposed repair method on the MNIST dataset.

This paper is about fixing mistakes in special kinds of computer programs called Neural Networks (like those used for recognizing pictures). When we shrink these networks to make them work faster, they don’t always perform as well. The researchers developed a new way to measure how different two neural networks are from each other. They use this measurement to create a “training set” that helps the shrunk network work better. This method was tested on a big dataset of pictures (called MNIST) and showed good results.
