  • Abstract
    A variation of the backpropagation procedure that dynamically adjusts the values of the learning rate and momentum parameters during learning is proposed. These values are made dependent on the standard deviation of the activation distribution of each hidden unit, which allows the network to adapt the parameter values to each individual weight. The new procedure was applied to a simple categorization task and it gave better convergence results than the standard backpropagation procedure
