–Neural Information Processing Systems
We present a computationally efficient algorithm for function approximation withpiecewise linear sigmoidal nodes. A one hidden layer network is constructed one node at a time using the method of fitting the residual. The task of fitting individual nodes is accomplished usinga new algorithm that searchs for the best fit by solving a sequence of Quadratic Programming problems. This approach offers significantadvantages over derivative-based search algorithms (e.g.
