• Abstract summary: We propose a more robust model of artificial neural networks where the hidden neurons, residing in the same hidden layer, are interconnected that leads to rapid convergence. With the experimental study of our proposed model in deep networks, we demonstrate that the model results in a noticeable increase in convergence rate compared to the conventional feed-forward neural network.

• Abstract: Despite artificial neural networks being inspired by the functionalities of biological neural networks, unlike biological neural networks, conventional artificial neural networks are often structured hierarchically, which can impede the flow of information between neurons as the neurons in the same layer have no connections between them. Hence, we propose a more robust model of artificial neural networks where the hidden neurons, residing in the same hidden layer, are interconnected that leads to rapid convergence. With the experimental study of our proposed model in deep networks, we demonstrate that the model results in a noticeable increase in convergence rate compared to the conventional feed-forward neural network.

• Web Neural Network with Complete DiGraphs [8.2727500676707]
  Current neural networks have structures that vaguely mimic the brain structure, such as neurons, convolutions, and recurrence. The model proposed in this paper adds additional structural properties by introducing cycles into the neuron connections and removing the sequential nature commonly seen in other network layers. Furthermore, the model has continuous input and output, inspired by spiking neural networks, which allows the network to learn a process of classification, rather than simply returning the final result.
