title: On the capacity of multilayer neural networks trained with backpropagation.
abstract: The capacity of a layered neural network for learning hetero-associations is studied numerically as a function of the number M of hidden neurons. We find that there is a sharp change in the learning ability of the network as the number of hetero-associations increases. This fact allows us to define a maximum capacity C for a given architecture. It is found that C grows logarithmically with M.
