An overview on weight initialization methods for feedforward neural networks
Celso A. R. de Sousa · 2016
Feedforward neural networks are neural networks with (possibly) multiple layers of neurons such that each layer is fully connected to the next one. They have been widely studied in the past partially due to their universal approximation capabilities and empirical effectiveness on a variety of application domains for both regression and classification tasks. In this paper, we provide an overview on feedforward neural networks, focusing on weight initialization methods.
