A Max-Sum algorithm for training discrete neural networks

A Max-Sum algorithm for training discrete neural networks

We present an efficient learning algorithm for the problem of training neural networks with discrete synapses, a well-known hard (NP-complete) discrete optimization problem. The algorithm is a variant of the so-called Max-Sum (MS) algorithm. In particular, we show how, for bounded integer weights with $q$ distinct states and independent concave …
