US Patent 12020160 Generation of neural network containing middle layer background

A method, computer program product and system for generating a neural network. Initial neural networks are prepared, each of which includes an input layer containing one or more input nodes, a middle layer containing one or more middle nodes, and an output layer containing one or more output nodes. A new neural network is generated that includes a new middle layer containing one or more middle nodes based on the middle nodes of the middle layers of the initial neural networks.
