| Abstract | In this paper we address some open questions on the recently proposed Zero-Error Density Maximization algorithm for MLP training. We propose a new version of the cost function that solves a training problem encountered in previous work and prove that the use of a nonparametric density estimator preserves the optimal solution. Some experiments are reported comparing this cost function to the usual mean-square error and cross entropy cost junctions. © 2006 IEEE. |
