TRAINING

Keyword of Integer Type

This keyword indicatea method that will be used to optimize neural network weights. All these methods, with an exception of stiff and Levenberg-Marquardt algorithms, are heuristic algorithms that have a number of adjustable parameters. These parameters were selected by the  authors of the algorithms  to provide the fast convergence of the algorithms.

momentum {0}  -- The simplest algorithm that started new interest in artificial neural networks after article of Rumelhart et al., 1986. The momentum rate is 0.9 and eps is 0.2.
SuperSAB {1} -- programmed according to Tollenaere, T. SuperSAB: Fast Adaptive Back Propagation with Good Scaling Properties. Neural Networks. 1990, 3, 561-573. Momentum is 0.9, eps is 0.2, multiplication(+) is 1.05, multiplication(-) is 0.5, max eps is 10.
RPROP {2} --  Initial eps is 0.0001, minimal eps is 0.000001, multiplication(+) is 1.2, multiplication(-) is 0.5.
QuickProp {3} -- Falhman implementation updated from his original code by V.V. Kovalishyn. Eps is 0.55, decay is 0.0001, minimal derive is 0.1, maximal momentum is 1.75.
stiff {4}--  Second order optimisation algorithm that converts the weights optimisation to the problem of solution of the second order differential equations.
QuickProp1 {5} -- Original implementation of I. V. Tetko inspired by the algorithm of Falhman. The same parameters as in QuickProp are used.
Marquardt {6} -- Second -order Levenberg-Marquardt optimisation algorithm (requires O(n2) time, where n is the number of weights), see e.g. Shepherd, A. J. Second-Order Methods for Neural Networks; Springer-Verlag: London, 1997; 145.
 

The default value is {1}, the SuperSAB algorithm.
