Hybrid Optimized Back propagation Learning Algorithm For Multi-layer Perceptron

Standard neural network based on general back propagation learning using delta method or gradient descent method has some great faults like poor optimization of error-weight objective function, low learning rate, instability .This paper introduces a hybrid supervised back propagation learning algorithm which uses trust-region method of unconstrained optimization of the error objective function by using quasi-newton method .This optimization leads to more accurate weight update system for minimizing the learning error during learning phase of multi-layer perceptron.[13][14][15] In this paper augmented line search is used for finding points which satisfies Wolfe condition. In this paper, This hybrid back propagation algorithm has strong global convergence properties & is robust & efficient in practice.

Artificial Neural Network for Performance Modeling and Optimization of CMOS Analog Circuits

This paper presents an implementation of multilayer feed forward neural networks (NN) to optimize CMOS analog circuits. For modeling and design recently neural network computational modules have got acceptance as an unorthodox and useful tool. To achieve high performance of active or passive circuit component neural network can be trained accordingly. A well trained neural network can produce more accurate outcome depending on its learning capability. Neural network model can replace empirical modeling solutions limited by range and accuracy.[2] Neural network models are easy to obtain for new circuits or devices which can replace analytical methods. Numerical modeling methods can also be replaced by neural network model due to their computationally expansive behavior.[2][10][20]. The pro- posed implementation is aimed at reducing resource requirement, without much compromise on the speed. The NN ensures proper functioning by assigning the appropriate inputs, weights, biases, and excitation function of the layer that is currently being computed. The concept used is shown to be very effective in reducing resource requirements and enhancing speed.
