Although mathematically elegant, back-propagation isn't perfect. Instead consider using particle swarm optimization (PSO) to train your neural network; here's how.

Additionally, the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) allows for global optimization of fuzzy controller parameters and rule weights, providing precise regulation for electric motor braking energy ...
