Summary :

A new multilayer artificial neural network learning algorithm based on the pattern search method is proposed. The learning algorithm is designed to provide a very simple and effective means of searching the minima of an objective function directly without any knowledge of its derivatives. We test this algorithm on benchmark problems, such as exclusive-or (XOR), parity and alphabetic character learning problems. For all problems, the systems are shown to be trained efficiently by our algorithm. As a simple direct search algorithm, it can be applied to hardware implementations easily.
