Abstract

The paper addresses the problem of modeling highly nonlinear mappings of contextual nature with neural nets. The model of context-dependent multilayer neural net is recalled, along with basic training algorithms. Although the effectiveness of context-dependent nets has been proved theoretically, the lack of efficient and simple training algorithm implementations suppressed popularity of this neural net model.

In this paper efficient conjugate gradient training algorithms for context-dependent nets are developed and discussed, as well as illustrated with classification and regression problem.
