What is the state of the art in training feed-forward networks.  I
have seen a few papers in conference proceedings that deal with this
topic and did not see anything that improved performance over plain
Backpropagation drastically for the general case.

Does anyone have any references or a bibliography for this by any
chance.

Thanks.
