Title: Eluding Local Minima I: Simulated Annealing
Abstract: This chapter will discuss a simple yet effective method for avoiding local minima, as well as escaping from them if necessary. The algorithm discussed is a variation of traditional simulated annealing, optimized for the error surfaces encountered in neural network learning. The code given here will be an implementation of that algorithm written for general function minimization, and is primarily for education. The specific code for learning in multiple-layer networks can be found in the Appendix on page 429.
