Advanced learning algorithms

The comparisons of various learning algorithms were presented and it was shown that most popular neural network topologies (MLP) and most popular training algorithm (EBP) are not giving optimal solution. Instead MLP networks much simpler neural network topologies can be used to produce similar or better results. Instead of popular EBP more advance algorithms such as LM or NBN should be used. They not only produce results in couple order of magnitude shorter time, but also good solutions can be found for networks where EBP algorithm fails. Eventually EBP can find solution if number of neurons in the network increase, but this solution in most cases will be far from the optimum one.
