Chronicles of curiosity
Representing the diversive curiosity, an internal indicator is designed for BP algorithm, which detects the phenomenon of being trapped in local minima and the occurrence of premature convergence. Upon such detection, the neural network is activated again to explore optimal solution in search space and escape form local minima by means of stochastic disturbance.
