Abstract

This paper proposes a probabilistic modeling learning algorithm for the local search approach to the Multiple-Valued Logic (MVL) networks. The learning model (PMLS) has two phases: a local search (LS) phase, and a probabilistic modeling (PM) phase. The LS performs searches by updating the parameters of the MVL network. It is equivalent to a gradient decrease of the error measures, and leads to a local minimum of error that represents a good solution to the problem. Once the LS is trapped in local minima, the PM phase attempts to generate a new starting point for LS for further search. It is expected that the further search is guided to a promising area by the probability model. Thus, the proposed algorithm can escape from local minima and further search better results. We test the algorithm on many randomly generated MVL networks. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is better than the other improved local search learning methods, such as stochastic dynamic local search (SDLS) and chaotic dynamic local search (CDLS).
