Abstract
Differing from conventional improvements on backpropagation (BP) neural network, a novel neural network is proposed and investigated in this paper to overcome the BP neural-network weaknesses, which is called the multiple-input feed-forward neural network activated by Chebyshev polynomials of Class 2 (MINN-CP2). In addition, to obtain the optimal number of hidden-layer neurons and the optimal linking weights of the MINN-CP2, the paper develops an algorithm of weights and structure determination (WASD) via cross-validation. Numerical studies show the effectiveness and superior abilities (in terms of approximation and generalization) of the MINN-CP2 equipped with the algorithm of WASD via cross-validation. Moreover, an application to gray image denoising demonstrates the effective implementation and application prospect of the proposed MINN-CP2 equipped with the algorithm of WASD via cross-validation.
