Abstract
In this paper, we present a novel, effective and reliable training technique for feed-forward neural networks (FFNN). We call it cross-validated validation training (CVVT) since it combines statistical cross-validation with the validation training technique used in FFNNs. CVVT improves the generalisation estimation of validation training, enabling reliable comparison and selection of network architectures. Since it utilises validation training, CVVT also preserves the generalisation performance of FFNNs with excess weights. These benefits are demonstrated using statistical analysis of real-life results from a bake inspection system. Contrary to previous work, we found that significant excess weights may actually deteriorate the generalisation preserving ability of validation training.
