  • Abstract
    A technique for the training of multiple-valued neural networks based on a backpropagation learning algorithm employing a multilevel threshold function is proposed. The optimum threshold width of the multilevel function and the range of the learning parameter to be chosen for convergence are derived. Trials performed on a benchmark problem demonstrate the convergence of the network within the specified range of parameters
