چکیده
This report presents the studies carried out on two modifications suggested in the literature for Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm. The modifications are applicable to feed-forward neural networks. One modification [18], made on performance index, reduces computational complexity of the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm, while the other one [17], made on calculation of the gradient information, improves convergence rate. These modifications have been performed on several benchmark problems.
