Optimization of Number of Neurons in the Hidden Layer in Feed Forward Neural Networks with an Emphasis to Cascade Correlation Networks
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 9
Abstract
The architectures of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) are based on the problem domain and it is applied during the „training phase‟ of sample data and used to infer results for the remaining data in the testing phase. Normally, the architecture consist of three layers as input, hidden, output layers with the number of nodes in the input layer as number of known values on hand and the number of nodes as result to be computed out of the values of input nodes and hidden nodes as the output layer. The number of nodes in the hidden layer is heuristically decided so that the optimum value is obtained with reasonable number of iterations with other parameters with its default values. This study mainly focuses on Cascade-Correlation Neural Networks (CCNN) using Back-Propagation (BP) algorithm which finds the number of neurons during the training phase itself by appending one from the previous iteration satisfying the error condition gives a promising result on the optimum number of neurons in the hidden layer.
