Abstract

The Langevin updating rule, in which noise is added to theweights during learning, is presented and shown to improve learningon problems with initially ill-conditioned Hessians. This isparticularly important for multilayer perceptrons with many hiddenlayers, that often have ill-conditioned Hessians. In addition,Manhattan updating is shown to have a similar effect.
