A Hybrid Learning Algorithm for RBF Neural Networks Based on Support Vector Machines and BP Algorithms

Support vector machine (SVM) resembles RBF neural networks (RBFNN) in structure. Considering their resemblance, a new hybrid learning algorithm for RBFNN was proposed. The proposed learning algorithm is based on SVM and BP algorithms and includes two steps: the first step is SVM learning using sequential minimum optimization, and this will obtain a good initial structure and parameters of RBFNN; in the second step, BP algorithms is applied to optimize RBFNN parameters. This hybrid learning algorithm has a number of advantages: its training process is fast and efficient, and it can optimize parameters online. Examples are simulated to demonstrate the superiority and performance of the proposed hybrid learning algorithm.
