Abstract

Selective learning is an active learning strategy where the neural network selects during training the most informative patterns. This paper investigates a selective learning strategy where the informativeness of a pattern is measured as the sensitivity of the network output to perturbations in that pattern. The sensitivity approach to selective learning is then compared with an error selection approach where pattern informativeness is defined as the approximation error.
