Neural networks are widely applied in research and industry However their broader ap plication is hampered by various technical details Among these details are several training parameters and the choice of the topology of the network The subject of this dissertation is therefore the elimination and determination of usually user speci ed learning parameters Furthermore suitable application domai...

In the eighties the problem of the lack of an efficient algorithm to train multilayer Rosenblatt perceptrons was solved by sigmoidal neural networks and backpropagation. But should we still try to find an efficient algorithm to train multilayer hardlimit neuronal networks, a task known as a NP-Complete problem? In this work we show that this would not be a waste of time by means of a counter ex...

There are well-known limitations and drawbacks on the performance and robustness of the feed-forward, fully-connected Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), or the so-called Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLPs). In this study we shall address them by Generalized Operational Perceptrons (GOPs) that consist of neurons with distinct (non-)linear operators to achieve a generalized model of the biological neu...
