This paper presents the design consideration of the MFNNs(Multilayer Feed forward Neural Networks) based on the distribution of the given teching patterns. By extracting the feature points from the given teaching patterns, the structure of a network including the netowrk size and interconnection weights of a network is initialized. This network is trained based on the modified version of the EBP(Error Back Propagation) algorithm. As a result, the proposed method has the advantage of learning speed compared to the conventional learning of the MFNNs with randomly chosen initial weights. To show the effectiveness of the suggested approach, the simulation result on the approximation of a two demensional continuous function is shown.
