A system for reconfiguring neural network architecture responsive to a system state is provided. A controller for modifying a neural network learning engine is configured to monitor a data stream having a data pattern by comparing the data pattern to a trained data pattern; identify a change in the data pattern of the data stream; determine a state of the neural network learning engine, the state defining one or more neural network parameters for monitoring the data stream with the neural network learning engine; and in response to identifying the change in the data pattern and determining the state, reconfigure an architectural configuration of the neural network learning engine by modifying the one or more neural network parameters.
