Abstract

We investigate the use of a regularization prior and its pruning properties. We illustrate the behavior of this prior by conducting analyses both using a Bayesian framework and with the generalization method, on a simple toy problem. Results are thoroughly compared with those obtained with a traditional weight decay. Copyright 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
