TL;DR

It is shown, first, how the introduction of test cycles brings out a great improvement in the convergence rate and, second, that costly experiments used to adjust learning-relevant parameters could be dispensed with.

Abstract

This article deals with back-propagation, a learning method for neural nets. It is shown, first, how the introduction of test cycles brings out a great improvement in the convergence rate and, second, that costly experiments used to adjust learning-relevant parameters could be dispensed with.
