Abstract

In this book, a method to mathematically analyze the learning behavior of (multi-layer) feed-forward neural networks, the Vector Decomposition Method (VDM), has been introduced. With the VDM, a large number of phenomena during training of feed-forward neural networks have been analyzed mathematically, which results in easy-to-read equations and hence results in insight into the learning processes in feed-forward neural networks.
