Abstract: While many implementations of Bayesian neural networks use large, complex hierarchical priors, in
much of modern Bayesian statistics, noninformative (at) priors are very common. This paper introduces
a noninformative prior for feed-forward neural networks, describing several theoretical and practical
advantages of this approach. Details of implementation via Markov chain Monte Carlo are included.
