Abstract

A gradient-based algorithm for ensemble weights modification is presented and applied on the regression tasks. Simulation results show that this method can produce an estimator ensemble with better generalization than those of bagging and single neural network. The method can not only have a similar function to GASEN of selecting many subnets from all trained networks, but also be of better performance than GASEN, bagging and best individual of regressive estimators.
