Hi there,
I am totally new to neural networks and am trying to train a network now. I am using a php script from tremani.nl for the neural network. Now what I wonder is that. How long does it usually take to train a network? I mean I am training it now for 24 hours and it´s still not finished, but probably I only set up wrong parameters?
Here is what I am trying to train:
So basically I got 8 inputting neurons and 1 output. For the correlation isn´t too big, I thought I should use probably more neurons between the input and the output layer, so I use 320 neurons in between.
For mean square error I use 0.0003 (since all resulting numbers are rather little, so that would probably be alike a +_20% error range).
For learning rate I use 0.1 and for momentum I use 0.8.
So basically I would be interested wether my values are chosen totally wrong? Additionally to that I would like to know, how long a regular neural network does need to train on average?
Thx

Wow! what are you talking about ? Sorry for my ignorance, but what are neurons ? learning rate ? momentum ?
Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

It's a joke. He's pulling your chain.
It's his first post.
Everyone knows that it takes exactly (%43h7c99bdE23% * (3.14159^2 / 64)) nanoseconds to train a neural network for the first time. of course, it could take less the second time.

I am afraid it´s not a joke... in fact I would be happy if it would and I would not be frozen by that problem for days now... as mentioned it´s the first time I use neural networks. Of course I know that learning time differs a lot, but what I meant is if my variables are setup a way that makes it impossiple anyway to train the network I could stop the training right away... despite of that I use only a few hundret pairs so to say for training atm while I would have several thousands yet to to train... now if training a few hundreds already takes so far several days (and I am not sure for how much more days the training would last) training several thousands would probably take years....
Really no joke, just trying to work with neural networks for the first time...
@nav33n, these are values to be set when trying to train and work with neural networks...

@[omega], Sorry. This is the first time I am seeing something like this! hmm..maybe someone who knows bout it should answer !
