Improvements to the Backpropagation Algorithm

This paper presents some simple techniques to improve the backpropagation algorithm. Since learning in neural networks is an NP-complete problem and since traditional gradient descent methods are rather slow, many alternatives have been tried in order to accelerate convergence. Some of the proposed methods are mutually compatible and a combination of them normally works better than each method alone.
