Neural Network Architectures: Determining the Number of Hidden Nodes
Figuring Out the Number of Hidden Nodes: Then and Now One of the most demanding questions in developing neural networks (of any size or complexity) is determining the architecture: number of layers, nodes-per-layer, and other factors. This was an important question in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, when neural networks first emerged. Deciding on the network architecture details is even more challenging today. In this post, we’re going to look at some strategies for deciding on the number…
