<span lang="EN-US">Heart disease is the first cause of death in different countries. Artificial neural network (ANN) technique can be used to predict or classification patients getting a heart disease. There are different training algorithms for ANN. We compared eight neural network training algorithms for classification of heart disease data from UCI repository containing 303 samples. Performance measures of each algorithm containing the speed of training, the number of epochs, accuracy, and mean square error (MSE) were obtained and analyzed. Our results showed that training time for gradient descent algorithms was longer than other training algorithms (8-10 seconds). In contrast, Quasi-Newton algorithms were faster than others (&lt;=0 second). MSE for all algorithms was between 0.117 and 0.228. While there was a significant association between training algorithms and training time (p&lt;0.05), the number of neurons in hidden layer had not any significant effect on the MSE and/or accuracy of the models (p&gt;0.05). Based on our findings, for development an ANN classification model for heart diseases, it is best to use Quasi-Newton training algorithms because of the best speed and accuracy.</span>

Speed Up

Abstract Neural Networks are prevalent in todays NLP research. Despite their success for different tasks, training time is relatively long. We use Hogwild! to counteract this phenomenon and show that it is a suitable method to speed up training Neural Networks of different architectures and complexity. For POS tagging and translation we report considerable speedups of training, especially for the latter. We show that Hogwild! can be an important tool for training complex NLP architectures.

Coefficient Of Regression

A lot of neural network training algorithms on prediction exist and these algorithms are being used by researchers to solve evaluation, forecasting, clustering, function approximation etc. problems in traffic volume congestion. This study is aimed at analysing the performance of traffic congestion using some designated neural network training algorithms on traffic flow in some selected corridors within Akure, Ondo state, Nigeria. The selected corridors were Oba Adesida road, Oyemekun road and Oke Ijebu road all in Akure. The traffic flow data were collected manually with the help of field observers who monitored and record traffic movement along the corridors. To accomplish this, three common training algorithms were selected to train the traffic flow data. The data were trained using Bayesian Regularization (BR), Scaled Conjugate Gradient (SCG) and Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) training algorithms. The outputs/performances of these training functions were evaluated by using the Mean Square Error (MSE) and Coefficient of Regression (R) to find the best training algorithms. The results show that, the Bayesian regularization algorithm, performs better with MSE of 2.37e-13 and R of 0.9999 than SCG and LM algorithms.
