Optimization of multi-layer artificial neural networks using delta values of hidden layers

Abstract: The number of hidden layers is crucial in multilayer artificial neural networks. In general, generalization power of the solution can be improved by increasing the number of layers. This paper presents a new method to determine the optimal architecture by using a pruning technique. The unimportant neurons are identified by using the delta values of hidden layers. The modified network contains fewer numbers of neurons in network and shows better generalization. Moreover, it has improved the speed relative to th… Show more

“…In addition, the nodes number of the second hidden layer depends on the number of input nodes. So in this paper, we set the nodes number of the second hidden layer as (2m + 1)/2 (m is the nodes number of the input layer) according to Hecht-Nielsen's method [25], which is simple and effective.…”

“…Sometimes the network matches the data narrowly and loses its generalization ability over the test data which give rise to overtraining. In [37], author gives information regarding the competitive learning approach of finding hidden nodes for artificial neural network. The advantage of this proposed method is that it is not approximately calculating number of hidden nodes but based on similarity between input data.…”
