Claim 11:
12. An encoding method of an encoding apparatus, the encoding method comprising:
storing a random number sequence generated by a random number generator;
receiving dropout information of a deep neural network, the dropout information indicating a ratio between connected edges and disconnected edges of a plurality of first edges included in a first layer of the deep neural network;
generating an edge sequence indicating connection or disconnection of a plurality of second edges included in a second layer of the deep neural network by modifying the random number sequence based on a comparison between the dropout information and a target ratio value; and
outputting the edge sequence such that the connection or the disconnection of the plurality of second edges included in the second layer of the deep neural network are reconfigured,
wherein the generating of the edge sequence comprises modifying the random number sequence such that a ratio value of a number of bits having a value of 0 and 1 in an entirely of the deep neural network is the target ratio value.
