Improvement the Back-propagation Technique

Abstract

Error backpropagation neural network (EBP) used training algorithm for feedforward artificial neural networks (FFANNs). The main problem with the EBP algorithm that it is very slow and the converge to the optimal solution is not guaranteed. This problem leads to search for improvements to speed up this algorithm. In this research we use several methods to speed up the EBP algorithm. A many layer neural network was designed for building pattern compression system, encoding and recognition. We also used many methods to speed up this algorithm (EBP) and comparison between them.
