Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The backpropagation algorithm is now the most widely used algorithm in artificial neural networks. However, it is not without its real problems, the most serious being the slow speed of learning which sometimes produces a paralysis of the network, as learning virtually stops. In the present article a modification to the backpropagation algorithm for learning in neural networks is proposed. The results obtained from the evaluation of the performance of both algo-rithms: the original and the one modified in our proposal, are discussed. It is shown that our proposal not only reduces significant dependency on the initial parameters but contributes to speed up convergence to a given error value.
