Abstract:
The article describes hybrid approach in neural networks, used in prediction of time series, as well as the specific aspects of teaching hybrid neural networks consisting of Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) and Multilayer Perņeptron (MLP). Also, paper contains the results, gained during the process of building and teaching the large hybrid neural network and the new algorithm of equitable teaching for self-organizing layer.
Keywords:neural nets, hybrid neural nets, self-organizing maps, time series prediction, function approximation.
