The Observer-observation Dilemma In Neuro-forecasting

 Hans Georg Zimmermann and Ralph Neuneier
  
 

Abstract:
We explain how the training data can be separated into a cleaned part and an unexplainable noisy part. Analogous to the data, the neural network is separated into a time invariant structure used for forecasting, and a noisy part. We propose a unified theory connecting the optimization algorithms for cleaning and learning together with algorithms that control the data noise and the parameter noise. The combined algorithm allows a data-driven local control of the liability of the network parameters and therefore an improvement in generalization. The approach is successfully evaluated for the task of forecasting the German bond market.
