Gradient descent method is an essential algorithm for learning of neural networks. Among diverse variations of gradient descent method that have been developed for accelerating learning speed, the natural gradient learning is based on the theory of information geometry on stochastic neuromanifold, and is known to have ideal convergence properties. Despite its theoretical advantages, the pure natural gradient has some limitations that prevent its practical usage. In order to get the explicit value of the natural gradient, it is required to know true probability distribution of input variables, and to calculate inverse of a matrix with the square size of the number of parameters. Though an adaptive estimation of the natural gradient has been proposed as a solution, it was originally developed for online learning mode, which is computationally inefficient for the learning of large data set. In this paper, we propose a novel adaptive natural gradient estimation for mini-batch learning mode, which is commonly adopted for big data analysis. For two representative stochastic neural network models, we present explicit rules of parameter updates and learning algorithm. Through experiments on three benchmark problems, we confirm that the proposed method has superior convergence properties to the conventional methods.

A stochastic gradient descent method is combined with a consistent auxiliary estimate to achieve global convergence of the recursion. Using step lengths converging to zero slower than 1/n and averaging the trajectories, yields the optimal convergence rate of 1/√n and the optimal variance of the asymptotic distribution. Possible applications can be found in maximum likelihood estimation, regression analysis, training of artificial neural networks, and stochastic optimization.

As we all know, the parameter optimization of Mamdani model has a defect of easily falling into local optimum. To solve this problem, we propose a new algorithm by constructing Mamdani Fuzzy neural networks. This new scheme uses fuzzy clustering based on particle swarm optimization(PSO) algorithm to determine initial parameter of Mamdani Fuzzy neural networks. Then it adopts PSO algorithm to optimize model's parameters. At the end, we use gradient descent method to make a further optimization for parameters. Therefore, we can realize the automatic adjustment, modification and perfection under the fuzzy rule. The experimental results show that the new algorithm improves the approximation ability of Mamdani Fuzzy neural networks.

This paper illustrates the use of a powerful language, called J, that is ideal for simulating neural networks. The use of J is demonstrated by its application to a gradient descent method for training a multilayer perceptron. It is also shown how the back-propagation algorithm can be easily generalized to multilayer networks without any increase in complexity and that the algorithm can be completely expressed in an array notation which is directly executable through J. J is a general purpose language, which means that its user is given a flexibility not available in neural network simulators or in software packages such as MATLAB. Yet, because of its numerous operators, J allows a very succinct code to be used, leading to a tremendous decrease in development time.

In recent years, the research of artificial neural networks based on fractional calculus has attracted much attention. In this paper, we proposed a fractional-order deep backpropagation (BP) neural network model with L2 regularization. The proposed network was optimized by the fractional gradient descent method with Caputo derivative. We also illustrated the necessary conditions for the convergence of the proposed network. The influence of L2 regularization on the convergence was analyzed with the fractional-order variational method. The experiments have been performed on the MNIST dataset to demonstrate that the proposed network was deterministically convergent and can effectively avoid overfitting.
