ABSTRACT
The architecture selection problem is of great importance
when designing neural networks. A network that is too
simple does not learn the problem sufficiently well. Con­
versely, a larger than necessary network presumably in­
dicates overfitting and provides low generalisation perfor­
mance. This paper presents a novel architecture selection
criterion for single hidden layer feedforward networks. The
optimal network size is determined using a version of the
