Training Neural Network with Simulated Annealing
I am trying to train a simple neural network with simulated annealing. I have programmed a neural network with an input layer of 784 input nodes (28 x 28 pixels, I am using the MNIST database to train)...

antagonistic simulated annealing
Simulated annealing aims at a series of target distributions
$$\pi_T(x)\propto\exp\{T\,H(x)\}$$
to find the maximum of the function $H$ and its argument
$$\arg_x\max_{x\in \mathfrak X} H(x)$$
if the ...

Simulated Annealing vs SGD with (warm) Restarts
What's the difference between simulated annealing and stochastic gradient descent with restarts? They both seem like they are occasionally going backwards at a decreasing rate. Also what is the ...

Simulated Annealing Parameter Tuning
My question concerns parameter tuning for simulated annealing (SA). I've the following toy equation
$$
y = (x^2+x) \times cos(2x) + 20 \text{ if } x \in (-10, 10)
$$
My problem is that the solution ...

How can I find the bounds that gets Simulated Annealing to converge?
According to Wikipedia on Simulated Annealing,
For any given finite problem, the probability that the simulated annealing algorithm terminates with a global optimal solution approaches 1 as the ...
