Multilayer Neural Networks: One or Two Hidden Layers?

Neural Information Processing Systems

In dimension d 2, Gibson characterized the functions computable with just one hidden layer, under the assumption that there is no "multiple intersection point" and that f

The number of hidden layers is a crucial parameter for the architecture of multilayer neural networks. Early research, in the 60's, addressed the problem of exactly realizing Booleanfunctions with binary networks or binary multilayer networks. On the one hand, more recent work focused on approximately realizing real functions with multilayer neural networks with one hidden layer [6, 7, 11] or with two hidden units [2]. On the other hand, some authors [1, 12] were interested in finding bounds on the architecture of multilayer networks for exact realization of a finite set of points.
