Abstract

Multilayer perceptrons have been shown to approximate any continuous functions with a desired precision.With insufficient training samples, however,the network can not learn the function properlyand popular model selection methods such as cross validation can not be used. We propose a scheme to generate virtual samplesusing a population of networks. They are applied to regressionproblems and are shown to improve generalization and to solve the model selection problem at the same time.
