An optimal control approach for neural network architecture adaptation with a posteriori error estimation
arXiv:2607.07637v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This work presents a novel approach for adapting neural network architecture along the depth based on a posteriori error estimation. By formulating neural network training as a continuous-time optimal control problem, we derive rigorous error estimates that quantify how approximation error distributes across network layers. This error decomposition enables a principled depth adaptation strategy: new layers are inserted at locations of maximum estimated error, allowing the network to efficiently capture complex, nonlinear variations in the underly
