摘要
In this paper a new strategy for adaptively and autonomously constructing a multi-hidden-layer feedforward neural network (FNN) is introduced. The proposed scheme belongs to a class of structure level adaptation algorithms that adds both new hidden units and new hidden layers one at a time when it is determined to be needed. Using this strategy, a FNN may be constructed having as many hidden layers and hidden units as required by the complexity of the problem being considered. Simulation results applied to regression problems are included to demonstrate the performance capabilities of the proposed scheme. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
