Fast initialization for cascade-correlation learning
1Signal Processing Laboratory, Tampere University of Technology, FIN-33101 Tampere, Finland.
Abstract:
Weight initialization in the cascade-correlation learning is considered. Most of the previous studies use the so called candidate training to deal with the initialization problem in the cascade-correlation learning. There several candidate hidden units are first trained, and then the one yielding the best value for the covariance criterion is installed to the network. In case there are many candidate units to be trained, the total computational cost of the training can become very large. Here we consider a new approach for weight initialization in the cascade-correlation learning. The proposed method is based on the concept of stepwise regression. Empirical simulations show that the new method can significantly speed-up the cascade-correlation learning compared to the case where the candidate training is used. Moreover, the overall performance remained similar or was even better than with the candidate training.

Correlation
Two variables, for example, a and b, are said to be positively correlated if both variables move in the same direction. In other words, a positive correlation exists between two variables, a and b, if:
