| Abstract(in English) | We present an optimization algorithm for layered neural networks that can determine both the connection weights and the number of hidden units at the same time during learning process. It uses a mechanism of competition among hidden units that is based upon "the goodness factor (GF)". The GF value, calculated for each hidden unit, represents the importance of the hidden unit for the upper layer units to separate their input space. In all the learning problems tested, the minimal or nearly minimal networks for givenproblems were obtained with high probability, and the learning time is faster than the conventional back-propagation algorithm. |
