A Comparison between Seven Heuristic Methods to Estimate the Number of Hidden Layer Neurons in a Multi Layer Perceptron Neural Network
Abstract:Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network (MLPNNs) constructs of input, at least one hidden and output layer. Number of the neurons in the hidden layer affects the NNs performance. It also consider difficult task to overcome. This research, aims to exanimate the performance of seven heuristic methods that have been used to estimate the neurons numbers in the hidden layer. The effectiveness of these methods was verified using a six of benchmark datasets. The number of hidden layer neurons that selected by each heuri… Show more
