Vic,
Interesting comments on annealing.
Based on Jay's and your posts, I've continued to test annealing and am still getting mostly poor results. I see from a later post that you're running a PII, which is significantly faster than what I'm running, which is a Cyrix 200. I wonder if I'm just not allowing annealing enough compute cycles to do its' thing adequately. I think I've read that the Cyrix chip FPU is slower than an Intel FPU, if so, I may order a Intel 233MMX CPU, which is as fast as this motherboard will support.
How long do you allow annealing to run? Do you keep both Backprop and annealing checked and allow NS to decide which to run?
If anything, it seems that annealing might help an already good net, but it won't turn a marginal net into a good one.
To All - Comments on any of this?
P.S. - The illegal operation error I get is quite infrequent and just slightly annoying, not destructive.
