Adaptive Systems on Different Time Scales

by D. Endres and Peter Riegler

Abstract:
 The special character of certain degrees of freedom in two-layered neural
 networks is investigated for on-line learning of realizable rules. Our
 analysis shows that the dynamics of these degrees of freedom can be put on
 a faster time scale than the remaining, with the profit of speeding up the
 overall adaptation process. This is shown for two groups of degrees of
 freedom: second layer weights and bias weights. For the former case
 our analysis provides a theoretical explanation of phenomenological findings.
