Probing technique for neural net fault detection

The weight shifting technique for recovering faulty neural network has been proposed based on the assumption that the weights of the faulty links are known. In this paper, a technique for detecting the faulty links and determining the faulty weights in single-output two-layered feedforward neural networks is presented. This type of network architecture has been used in various applications, especially in business-related applications. The determination of faulty weights is achieved through slight neuron modification and the use of probing vectors. The technique can be implemented on a neural network chip
