TCD-CS-1998-09 In this paper we propose a simple, alternative interpretation of backpropagation
learning. We call this the ?epoch interpretation of learning?
and show how it can be used to improve the performance of earlystopping
based techniques used for improving generalization performance
in neural networks. Experiments performed on noisy, non-linear
foreign exchange rate data demonstrate that networks built using an
early-stopping technique that uses the epoch interpretation of learning on
average out-perform networks built using a conventional early-stopping
technique by 11%.
