Peterson, Jr.) Newsgroups: comp.ai.neural-nets Subject: Request for information Keywords: Learning Rates, Back-Propagation. Message-ID: <204@calmasd.Prime.COM> Date: 31 Jan 89 19:37:42 GMT Organization: Prime-Calma, San Diego R&D, Object and Data Management Group Lines: 39 I posted this request a month or so ago, but after I did I realized that it was at the beginning of semester break, and since many readers of this group are in academia, I'm posting again now that everyone is back to school. I am looking for references to recent work in the area of learning rates in artificial neural networks, particularly back-propagation networks. This is for some research that I am doing for my Master's thesis in Computer Science. The most recent references that I have are from the "Procedings of the 1988 Connectionist Models Summer School" at CMU. Also, if anyone "out there" is doing or has done work in this field, I would like to hear from you. ( P.S. Thanks for the couple of responses I did get the last time ). ( P.P.S. I'm sorry if this is a duplicate message. I'm re-posting because we've been having some trouble getting messages off-site and I don't think my last posting got out. ) Walter L.
