  • Abstract
    An adaptive algorithm to calculate the learning rate of the backpropagation algorithm is proposed. It is based on the estimation of the maximum value of that parameter that guarantees stability in each training cycle. This scheme is computationally efficient and it is shown to be faster and to avoid local minima easier than other previously proposed adaptive algorithms
