Abstract: This paper presents a study of weight- and input-noise in feed-forward network training algorithms. In theory for the optimal least-squares case noise can be modelled by a single cost function term. However we believe that such ideal conditions are uncommon in practice. Both first and second derivative terms are shown to have the potential to de-sensitize the trained network's outputs to weight- or input-corruption. Simulation experiments illustrate these points comparing the ideal case with a... (Update)

.... the learning process and we have investigated the conditions under which weight noise is equivalent to including cost function penalties [4, 6]. The penalties were considered to be constraints on weight saliency. Here we expand this idea onto that of smoothness of the solution...

...learning convergence. Work has also been carried out to ascertain the underlying mechanisms of the performance improvements[9] 2] [10]. The use of weight noise has therefore been shown to be beneficial for a number of applications all trained and tested in software...
