arXiv: Multi-Column RBF Neural Network Using Adaptive and Non-Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimization The radial basis function neural network (RBFN) trained with a gradient descending algorithm provides an effective fully connected structure in both shallow and deep networks. The error correction (ErrCor), a state-of-the-art gradient-based training method, selects optimal hidden units to improve accuracy. Alternatively, as a population-based algorithm, the particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) uses the swarm experience to optimize RBFN parameters, offering global search and robustness to
