[pdp-discuss] Error-tweaking & scalarvallayerspecs

[Frank Leoné]

Hello!

Thanks for the answer. Lowering the learning rate sometimes makes the error 
rise at first, without going down afterwards. A bit strange behavior.

I still have a problem with the error though. Now I use a bigger set, with 
the same kind of data, but where is reached an average error of 2 with the 
smaller set, it only reaches 15 with the bigger set. Even more hidden units 
hardly seems to help. Anyone any ideas  how to get the error any lower?

Two things I want to try are:

- a batch run over different numbers of hidden units, but how to 
automatically build and connect all? I tried it in an init script, but it 
didn't work.
- a batch run over the width of scalarvallayers, to give the network a 
higher/lower input and output resolution. They all have the same ratio, so I 
made a parent with that ratio and tried a batch on the width value for that 
parent, but the children didn't inherit it. Any idea how this can be fixed?

Any other variables I can try to change? Thanks in advance, any help is 
grealy appreciated!

       with kind regards, happy Easter!

PS. Randy, I'll send you my leabra.cc later on, hotmail in Konqueror doesn't 
let me attach files. I hope it will be of use for you.
