Description
Summary:Till today, it has been a great challenge in optimizing the training time in neural networks. This paper presents Local Adaptive Techniques and Dynamic Adaptation Methods as acceleration techniques for neural networks. The first technique is based on weight-specific information such as the temporal behavior of the partial derivative of the current weight. The second technique is dynamically adapts the momentum factor, a, and learning rate, ᶯ with respect to the iteration number or gradient. Some of the most popular learning algorithms are described and discussed. Simulations on a real world application problem are conducted to evaluate and compare the performance of a local adaptive strategies with various popular training algorithms include global adaptive strategies. These techniques have been compared and measured in terms of gradient and error function evaluations, and percentage of success.
