TLDR
The Cascade-Correlation architecture has several advantages over existing algorithms: it learns very quickly, the network determines its own size and topology, it retains the structures it has built even if the training set changes, and it requires no back-propagation of error signals through the connections of the network.
Abstract
Cascade-Correlation is a new architecture and supervised learning algorithm for artificial neural networks. Instead of just adjusting the weights in a network of fixed topology. Cascade-Correlation begins with a minimal network, then automatically trains and adds new hidden units one by one, creating a multi-layer structure. Once a new hidden unit has been added to the network, its input-side weights are frozen. This unit then becomes a permanent feature-detector in the network, available for producing outputs or for creating other, more complex feature detectors. The Cascade-Correlation architecture has several advantages over existing algorithms: it learns very quickly, the network determines its own size and topology, it retains the structures it has built even if the training set changes, and it requires no back-propagation of error signals through the connections of the network.

Development and evaluation of the cascade correlation neural network and the random forest models for river stage and river flow prediction in Australia

TL;DR: Artificial intelligence techniques, namely the cascade correlation neural networks (CCNN) and the random forest models, were employed in daily river stage and river flow prediction for two river systems in Australia, and it was ascertained that the CCNN model can be taken as a preferred data intelligent tool for river stage

Fast and efficient incremental learning for high-dimensional movement systems

TL;DR: This work introduces a new algorithm, locally weighted projection regression (LWPR), for incremental real-time learning of nonlinear functions, as particularly useful for problems of autonomous real- time robot control that requires internal models of dynamics, kinematics, or other functions.
