Abstract

The training of neural networks is considered as a combinatorial optimization task and solved with the Reactive Tabu Search (RTS) method. RTS is applicable to non-differentiable functions, is robust with respect to the random initialization and effective in exploring the search space. A special-purpose VLSI architecture was developed to take advantage of the limited memory and processing requirements of RTS. A brief description of the chip and a test on a recurrent network are presented
