Simplified Information Maximization for Improving Generalization Performance in Multilayered Neural Networks

Table 2

Summary of experimental results by the simplified information maximization for the first to the fourth hidden layers and the method without unsupervised information acquisition phase for the bankruptcy data. The simplified information maximization and standard multilayered neural networks are represented by “SIM” and “STD,” respectively.
