Claim 7:
8. A system for mitigating damage to multi-layer networks, the system comprising:
one or more processors; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
providing a multi-layer network comprising a plurality of nodes arranged into a plurality of layers;
receiving a plurality of training cases for training the multi-layer network; and
for each training case of the plurality of training cases:
determining a set of dropout nodes within the multi-layer network, based at least on a damage model having a probability of a node being selected for dropout that is based at least on a target operating environment of the multi-layer network, wherein the probability of a node being selected for dropout is spatially correlated; and
training the multi-layer network with the determined set of dropout nodes disabled, wherein a different set of dropout nodes is determined for different training cases.
