Abstract :
This paper investigates Stochastic Local Search (SLS) algorithms for training neural networks with threshold activation functions. and proposes a novel technique, called Binary Learning Machine (BLM). BLM acts by changing individual bits in the binary representation of each weight and picking improving moves.
