Appeal No. 94-4200 Application 07/979,139 sequence utilizing an incrementally adjustable gain parameter. The independent claim 1 is reproduced as follows: 1. A computer system for machine learning of a time dependent pattern sequence y(t) comprising: input means for receiving a plurality, indexed by i, of time dependent inputs x (t) and a meta-step-size parameter 2; i calculation means for calculating from said time dependent inputs a predicted value, y , of said pattern sequence;* a computer memory associated with the said means for calculating; said calculating means further including a learning rate, k , i exponentially related to an incremental gain $ (t) and a i derivation means for deriving the incremental gain $ (t) from i previous values of B (t) and having means for 1 Initializing h , a per input memory parameter, to O, and i weight coefficients, w , and $ , the incremental gaini i parameter, to chosen values, i=1,...,n, Repeating for each new inputs (x ,...,x , y )the steps of:1 n * calculating, n y = E w x i i i = 1 calculating, * = y - y* Repeating for i = 1,...,n where k is an input learning i rate and 2 is a positive constant denoted the meta-learning rate: 2Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
