Potential Methods for Improving Performance

Modify the network structure:

• Node level (e.g. use different type of activation function)
• Network level (e.g. vary number of layers and/or number of nodes)

Modify the network dynamics by preprocessing the inputs (e.g. all features scaled to a common interval)

Modify the network training schedule (e.g. the order of presentation) and/or the network learning rules (e.g. the learning rate)
