Levenberg-Marquardt and Conjugate Gradient Methods Applied to a High-order Neural Network

Abstract

The HONEST network is a high order neural network that uses product units and adaptable exponential weights. In this paper, we explore the use of several learning methods with the HONEST network: Levenberg-Marquardt (LM), Conjugate Gradient (CG), Scaled Conjugate Gradient (a technique that combines LM and CG), and resilient propagation (RP). Using a benchmark of 19 datasets, we find that the first three methods mentioned produce lower average test set errors than RP to a statistically significant extent.
