Abstract

As it is well-known, sigma-pi neural networks offer an interesting alternative to classical ridge-type neural networks, especially when aspects of invariances enter the field. In this contribution, we develop a backpropagation-type algorithm for a special kind of these networks, so-called hyperbolic sigma-pi neural networks, together with a well-founded initialization routine for finding proper starting parameters. We will not only sketch the mathematical machinery but also give detailed pseudo code for rapid implementation.
