Abstract

The article presents of accelerating neural network learning by the Back Propagation algorithm and one of its fastest modifications --- the Levenberg---Marqurdt method. The learning is accelerated by introducing the `single-direction' coefficient of the change of x for calculating its new values (the number of iterations is decreased by approximately 30%). Simulation results of learning neural networks by applying both the classic method and the method of accelerating the procedure are presented.
