About this paper
Mohammed Amer, Tomás Maul
A comprehensive taxonomy for modularizing artificial neural networks is presented, categorizing techniques across four distinct levels: Domain, Topology, Formation, and Integration. This framework offers a systematic approach to understanding and designing modular architectures, addressing challenges inherent in monolithic network designs.
Key insights
- Any modular neural network can be systematically analyzed through four fundamental levels of modularization: Domain (input partitioning), Topology (module interconnections), Formation (structure construction), and Integration (output combination).
- Modular architectures offer advantages such as enhanced scalability, improved fault tolerance, better interpretability, and opportunities for parallelization compared to monolithic networks.
- Different approaches for each modularization level (e.g., manual, learned, evolutionary) present varying trade-offs in control, automation, and computational complexity.
