Abstract: A new algorithm for neural network pruning is presented. Using this algorithm, networks
with small number of connections and high accuracy rates for breast cancer diagnosis are
obtained. We will then describe how rules can be extracted from a pruned network by
considering only a finite number of hidden unit activation values. The accuracy of the
extracted rules is as high as the accuracy of the pruned network. For the breast cancer
diagnosis problem, the concise rules extracted from the network ... (Update)
