Improving the Classification Efficiency of an ANN Utilizing a New Training Methodology
Journal Title: Informatics - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
In this work, a new approach for training artificial neural networks is presented which utilises techniques for solving the constraint optimisation problem. More specifically, this study converts the training of a neural network into a constraint optimisation problem. Furthermore, we propose a new neural network training algorithm based on the L-BFGS-B method. Our numerical experiments illustrate the classification efficiency of the proposed algorithm and of our proposed methodology, leading to more efficient, stable and robust predictive models.
