  • Abstract
    The authors present an error function `kerr´ which does not have the objectionable properties exhibited by the error function `ferr´ usually used to train neural networks. When combined with the conjugate gradient method, `kerr´ shows dramatic speedups over `ferr´ and back-propagation. Ferr is a sum of squares; in kerr each square is divided by a factor
