An Improved BP Neural Network Algorithm and its Application

Abstract

Back-propagation (BP) neural network algorithm is currently used most widely and grows fastest for its powful nonlinear simulation capability. However BP neural network is so easy to fall into local minima that it cant find the global optimum which limits its application in many fields. The paper, taking tax innovation teaching evaluation for example, advances a new evaluation algorithm based on improved BP neural network algorithm. Firstly an evaluation indicator system of tax major innovation teaching is designed through analyzing the specific characteristics of innovation teaching requirements. Secondly, in order to overcome the shortages of low convergence speed of original BP neural network algorithm, the paper improves BP algorithm through integrating BP algorithm and ant colony algorithm, ant improving the overall search method of integrated algorithm. Thirdly data from three universities are taken for examples to verify the validity and feasibility of the model and the experimental results show that the model can evaluate university innovation teaching practically.
