1- Is it possible to avoid local minima by combining a crude form of simulated annealing with backprop?<BR><BR>specifically, make the activation or weights stochastic, and gradually reduce the ...

Many new data scientists have voiced what they feel is the lack of a satisfying way to learn the concepts of back propagation/gradient computation in neural networks when taking undergrad level ML ...

The learning algorithm that enables the runaway success of deep neural networks doesn’t work in biological brains, but researchers are finding alternatives that could. In 2007, some of the leading ...
