Keywords Artificial neural networks, Pruning, Parallelization, Feature selection, Classification Gan, Chen & Huang, 2016; Gardnera & Dorlinga, 1998; Hatzigeorgiou, 2002; HernándezSerna & Jiménez-Segura, 2014; Jayne, Iliadis & Mladenov, 2016; Kalkatawi et al., 2013; tool, which implements several parallelized variants of ANN pruning algorithms. We measured the performance of the implemented ANN pruning algorithms, on 15 OBS variants, the accuracy resulting from ANN pruning and the effects on input features effects of the different ANN pruning algorithms on the network, we evaluated the training Figure 3 Effects of different pruning algorithms on ANN performance on the training data. and pruned ANNs by the different algorithms on our datasets. Table 4 Selection of the input features through the ANN pruning and the effect on performance. ./cache/work_y6i7l3737zhnxb6nkrgyvnvbou.pdf ./txt/work_y6i7l3737zhnxb6nkrgyvnvbou.txt
