Understanding the data

S-MLP, Seach-based MLP Network

Search-based MLP method (S-MLP):
standard MLP architecture;
weights/biases are all integers or discretized;
use beam search techniques instead of backpropagation.

Start from W_ij = 0, bias_i = -0.5, change by 1.

• Good results in classification and rule extraction,
• simple to program
• so far used only for a few datasets.
