Abstract

This technical note presents DeepFocus-BP, a novel adaptive backpropagation algorithm that dynamically routes computational resources based on real-time error magnitude. By employing stochastic probing and adaptive Alpha-Beta thresholding, the algorithm categorizes network blocks into Skip, Full Precision, and Low Precision regimes. KEY RESULTS (Seed 42, IMDB Dataset):- Test Accuracy: 84.10% (Surpassing Dense Baseline by +3.3%)- Computational Efficiency: ~66.2% reduction in total FLOPs.- Mechanism: Selective gradient suppression acts as a powerful regularizer. COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL:This technology offers significant potential for reducing cloud infrastructure costs and energy consumption in large-scale AI training. The author is actively seeking strategic partnerships, licensing agreements, or co-founding opportunities to commercialize this algorithm. COPYRIGHT:© 2026 Cláudio Fernandes. All Rights Reserved.
