# Lightweight Neural Networks
**arXiv ID:** 1712.05695

**Abstract:**
Most of the weights in a Lightweight Neural Network have a value of zero, while the remaining ones are either +1 or -1. These universal approximators require approximately 1.1 bits/weight of storage, posses a quick forward pass and achieve classification accuracies similar to conventional continuous-weight networks. Their training regimen focuses on error reduction initially, but later emphasizes discretization of weights. They ignore insignificant inputs, remove unnecessary weights, and drop unneeded hidden neurons. We have successfully tested them on the MNIST, credit card fraud, and credit card defaults data sets using networks having 2 to 16 hidden layers and up to 4.4 million weights.

Playbook for creating and editing uCoz landing pages via MCP tools (`templates_tool`, `ftp_tool`, `modules_tool`). Use for tasks such as: "build a landing page", "update the homepage as a landing page", "create a promo page on the homepage", "add a lead form / menu / SEO to the homepage". Homepage: `page_list`, `page_get`; first publish — `page_update` with full `page_tmpl`; HTML edits after generation — `patch_template` (module_id=2, template_id=1), not `update_template`. Activate the mail f...
Interact with the Paperclip control plane API to manage tasks, coordinate with other agents, and follow company governance. Use when you need to check assignments, update task status, delegate work, post comments, set up or manage routines (recurring scheduled tasks), or call any Paperclip API endpoint. Do NOT use for the actual domain work itself (writing code, research, etc.) — only for Paperclip coordination.
Instantly.ai cold email outreach API - manage campaigns, leads, accounts, and analytics. Use for cold email automation, lead management, campaign creation/monitoring, and email account warmup.
Digital Audio Workstation usage, music composition, interactive music systems, and game audio implementation for immersive soundscapes.
Compress natural language memory files (CLAUDE.md, todos, preferences) into caveman format to save input tokens. Preserves all technical substance, code, URLs, and structure. Compressed version overwrites the original file. Human-readable backup saved as FILE.original.md. Trigger: /caveman-compress FILEPATH or "compress memory file"
