SOLVING NUMBER SERIES - Architectural Properties of Successful Artificial Neural Networks

Marco Ragni, Andreas Klein

Abstract

Any mathematical pattern can be the generation principle for number series. In contrast to most of the application fields of artificial neural networks (ANN) a successful solution does not only require an approximation of the underlying function but to correctly predict the exact next number. We propose a dynamic learning approach and evaluate our method empirically on number series from the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences. Finally, we investigate research questions about the performance of ANNs, structural properties, and the adequate architecture of the ANN to deal successfully with number series.
