Utilization of Fixed Structure Learning Automata for Adaptation of Learning Rate in Backpropagation Algorithm

Adaptation of Momentum Factor and Steepness Parameter in Backpropagation Algorithm Using Fixed Structure Learning Automata

Backpropagation Algorithm Adaptation Parameters Using Learning Automata

Despite of the many successful applications of backpropagation for training multi-layer neural networks, it has many drawbocks. For complex problems it may require a long time to train the networks, and it may not train at all. Long training time can be the result of the non-optimal parameters. It is not easy to choose appropriate value of the parameters for a particular problem. In this paper,...

Using an Evaluator Fixed Structure Learning Automata in Sampling of Social Networks

Social networks are streaming, diverse and include a wide range of edges so that continuously evolves over time and formed by the activities among users (such as tweets, emails, etc.), where each activity among its users, adds an edge to the network graph. Despite their popularities, the dynamicity and large size of most social networks make it difficult or impossible to study the entire networ...

New Learning Automata Based Algorithms for Adaptation of Backpropagation Algorithm Parameters

One popular learning algorithm for feedforward neural networks is the backpropagation (BP) algorithm which includes parameters, learning rate (eta), momentum factor (alpha) and steepness parameter (lambda). The appropriate selections of these parameters have large effects on the convergence of the algorithm. Many techniques that adaptively adjust these parameters have been developed to increase...
