A COMPARISON OF CONSTRUCTIVE AND PRUNING ALGORITHMS TO DESIGN NEURAL NETWORKS
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Computer Science and Engineering - Year 2011, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
This paper presents a comparison between constructive and pruning algorithms to design Neural Network (NN). Both algorithms have advantages as well as drawbacks while designing the architecture of NN. Constructive algorithm is computationally economic because it simply specifies straightforward initial NN architecture. Whereas the large initial NN size of pruning algorithm allows reasonably quick learning with reduced complexity. Two popular ideas from two categories: “cascade-correlation [1]” from constructive algorithms and “skeletonization [2]” from pruning algorithms are chosen here. They have been tested on several benchmark problems in machine learning and NNs. These are the cancer, the credit card, the heart disease, the thyroid and the soybean problems. The simulation results show the number of iterations during the training period and the generalization ability of NNs designed by using these algorithms for these problems.
