Abstract
Taguchi Methods (and other orthogonal arrays) may be used to train small Artificial Neural Networks very quickly in a variety of tasks. These include, importantly, Control Systems. Previous experimental work has shown that they could be successfully used to train single layer networks with no difficulty. However, interaction between layers precluded the successful reliable training of multi-layered networks. This paper describes a number of successful strategies which may be used to overcome this problem and demonstrates the ability of such networks to learn non-linear mappings.
