Deep Multi-Component Neural Network Architecture by Chafik Boulealam, Hajar Filali, Jamal Riffi, Adnane Mohamed Mahraz, Hamid Tairi

“…Existing neural network architectures often struggle with two critical limitations: (1) information loss during dataset length standardization, where variable-length samples are forced into fixed dimensions, and (2) inefficient feature selection in single-modal systems, which treats all features equally regardless of relevance. To address these issues, this paper introduces the Deep Multi-Components Neural Network (DMCNN), a novel architecture that processes variable-length data by regrouping samples into components of similar lengths, thereby preserving information that traditional methods discard. …”
