Abstract
We have noted that the local minima problem in the backpropagation algorithm is usually caused by update disharmony between weights connected to the hidden layer and the output layer. To solve this problem, we propose a modified error function with added terms. By adding one term to the conventional error function, the modified error function can harmonize the update of weights connected to the hidden layer and the output layer. Thus, it can avoid the local minima problem caused by such disharmony. Moreover, some new learning parameters introduced for the added term are easy to select. Simulations on the modified XOR problem have been performed to test the validity of the modified error function.
