Abstract

The conventional back-propagation algorithm will always get stuck into local minima and converge very slowly. Other fast algorithms can increase the convergence speed however they still converge to local minima. We introduce a new hybrid algorithm with the use of weight evolution into the generalized back-propagation method. The hybrid algorithm further improve the convergence rate and the global convergence capability, it ensures the convergence to a global minimum in a compact region of a weight vector space. © 1999 IEEE
