In this thesis, a suitable architecture for applying DropConnect to Learning Vector Quantization networks is proposed along with a reference implementation and experimental results. Inmany classification tasks, the uncertainty of themodel is a vital piece of information for experts. Methods to extract the uncertainty and stability using DropConnect are also proposed and the corresponding experimental results are documented.}, language = {en} }
