An efficient parallel implementation of a least squares problem

Least squares solutions are a very important problem, which appear in a broad range of disciplines (for instance, control systems, statistics, signal processing). Our interest in this kind of problems lies in their use of training neural network controllers.

A new formulation of the learning problem for a neural network controller

In this paper we consider the learning problem for a class of multilayer perceptrons which is practically relevant in control systems applications. By reformulating this problem, a new criterion is developed, which reduces the number of iterations required for the learning phase.
