    Abstract:

    Focusing on the lack of efficient and practical learning algorithm for Binary Feedforward Neural Networks (BFNN), a novel learning algorithm by fusing the self-adaptations of both architecture and weight for training BFNN is proposed. Based on improving the methodology of Extreme Learning Machines (ELM), the algorithm can effectively train BFNNs with single hidden layer for solving classification problems. In order to satisfy training accuracy, the algorithm can automatically increase hidden neurons and adjust the neuron's weights with the Perceptron Learning Rule. As to improve generalization accuracy, the algorithm can automatically, by establishing binary neuron's sensitivity as a tool for measuring the relevance of each hidden neuron, prune the least relevant hidden neuron with some compensation for information losing due to the pruning. Experiment results verified the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
