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.

Process modeling using stacked neural networks

TL;DR: A new technique for neural-network-based modeling of chemical processes is proposed, inspired by the technique of stacked generalization proposed by Wolpert, and results obtained demonstrate the promise of this approach for improved neural- network-based plant-process modeling.

A Fast Simplified Fuzzy ARTMAP Network

TL;DR: An algorithmic variant of the simplified fuzzy ARTMAP (SFAM) network, whose structure resembles those of feed-forward networks, is presented, and it is shown that its algorithm is much faster than Kasuba's algorithm, and by increasing the number of training samples, the difference in speed grows enormously.
