Battle royale optimizer for training multi-layer perceptron

Taymaz Akan

Artificial neural network (ANN) is one of the most successful tools in machine learning. The success of ANN mostly depends on its architecture and learning procedure. Multi-layer perceptron (MLP) is a popular form of ANN. Moreover, backpropagation is a well-known gradient-based approach for training MLP. Gradient-based search approaches have a low convergence rate therefore, they may get stuck in local minima, which may lead to performance degradation. Training the MLP is accomplished based on minimizing the total network error, which can be considered as an optimization problem. Stochastic op ...Daha fazlası
