The generalization ability of MNN will usually increase when the number of parameters, modified during the training process will decrease. We present an approach, based on the mathematical logic paradigms for the selection of significant input parameters, which are the most important from the point of view of output parameters. These parameters are later used for the training of multi-layer neural networks.
