Sensitivity analysis allows to assess the influence, e.g., of each neuron or weight on the final network output. In particular various feature selection and pruning strategies are based on this capability. In this paper, we will present a new approximative sensitivity-based training algorithm yielding robust neural networks with generalization capabilities comparable to its exact analytical counterpart, yet much faster.} }
