Abstract

Fine-tuned learning is an enhancement to the standard backpropagation algorithm that relies on the notion of data approximation followed by sequential data refinement. It appears to be a quick and accurate variant of standard backpropagation. In this paper, we conduct extensive computational testing of fine-tuned learning in order to evaluate its effectiveness in reducing processing time and avoiding early convergence to local minima. Our results show that fine-tuned learning improves the performance of standard backpropagation.
