- True Parallel Processing in Artificial Neural Networks
- The area of artificial neural networks, which dates back to the early twentieth century, could only offer positive contributions to technology after the back-propagation algorithm was proposed in 1986. In this note an alternative algorithm to the gradient descent used in back-propagation is proposed. This algorithm is based on the...
