Momentum term, adaptive learning rate, the forgetting mechanics, and conjugate gradients method are introduced to improve the basic BP algorithm aiming to speed up the convergence of the BP algorithm and enhance the accuracy for diagnosis. A heart disease database consisting of 352 samples is applied to the training and testing courses of the system. The performance of the system is assessed by cross-validation method. It is found that as the basic BP algorithm is improved step by step, the convergence speed and the classification accuracy of the network are enhanced, and the system has great application prospect in supporting heart diseases diagnosis.展开更多
