Efficient learning in neural networks

In studies of neural networks, the Multilavered Feedforward Network is the most widely used network architecture while the Backpropagation (BP)algo-rithm is the prime learning algorithm for this kind of networks. Although the BP algorithm is thought to be based on a solid theoretical background, som...
