description

Abstract The paper presents a new application of the min-max method, an original algorithm previously successfully applied in other areas and based on a combination of the quasi-Newton and steepest descent methods in order to find the weights minimising the error function of a feed forward neural networks. Preliminary results, obtained by applying the proposed method to a simple 2-2-1 architecture on small Boolean learning problems, are very promising.
