Cascade correlation algorithm
- Cascade correlation algorithm
Cascade-Correlation is an architecture and supervised learning algorithm for artificial neural networks developed by Scott Fahlman.Instead of just adjusting the weights in a network of fixed topology, Cascade-Correlation begins with aminimal network, then automatically trains and adds new hidden units one by one, creating a multi-layerstructure. Once a new hidden unit has been added to the network, its input-side weights are frozen. This unitthen becomes a permanent feature-detector in the network, available for producing outputs or for creatingother, more complex feature detectors. The Cascade-Correlation architecture has several advantages overexisting algorithms: it learns very quickly, the network determines its own size and topology, it retains thestructures it has built even if the training set changes, and it requires no backpropagation of error signalsthrough the connections of the network.
