A Pilot Sampling Method for Multi-layer Perceptrons
نویسنده
چکیده
As the size of samples grows, the accuracy of trained multi-layer perceptrons grows with some improvement in error rates. But we cannot use larger and larger samples, because computational complexity to train the multi-layer perceptrons becomes enormous and data overfitting problem can happen. This paper suggests an effective approach in determining a proper sample size for multi-layer perceptrons with the help of radial basis function networks that work as a pilot for sampling. Experiments with the two neural network algorithms, multi-layer perceptrons and radial basis function networks show very promising results. Key-Words: multi-layer perceptrons, radial basis function networks, sampling

Abstract: In this paper, a method for determination of refractive index in membrane of fuel cell on basis of three-longitudinal-mode laser heterodyne interferometer is presented. The optical path difference between the target and reference paths is fixed and phase shift is then calculated in terms of refractive index shift. The measurement accuracy of this system is limited by nonlinearity erro...
متن کاملTraining Multi-layer Perceptrons Using MiniMin Approach
Multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs) have been widely used in classification and regression task. How to improve the training speed of MLPs has been an interesting field of research. Instead of the classical method, we try to train MLPs by a MiniMin model which can ensure that the weights of the last layer are optimal at each step. Significant improvement on training speed has been made using our met...
متن کاملMulti-Layer Perceptrons as Nonlinear Generative Models for Unsupervised Learning: a Bayesian Treatment
In this paper, multi-layer perceptrons are used as nonlinear generative models. The problem of indeterminacy of the models is resolved using a recently developed Bayesian method called ensemble learning. Using a Bayesian approach, models can be compared according to their probabilities. In simulations with artiicial data, the network is able to nd the underlying causes of the observations despi...
متن کاملAutomatic vowel quality description using a variable mapping to an eight cardinal vowel reference set
This paper investigates the possibility of describing vowels phonetically using an automated method. Models of the phonetic dimensions of the vowel space are built using two multi-layer perceptrons trained using eight cardinal vowels. The paper aims to improve the positioning of vowels in the open-close dimension by experimenting with a parameter in the model which is the parameter which contro...
