Recently there have been renewed interests in high order neural networks (HONNs) for its powerful mapping capability. Ridge polynomial neural network (RPNN) is an important kind of HONNs, which always occupies a key position as an efficient instrument in the tasks of classification or regression. In order to make the convergence speed faster and the network generalization ability stronger, we introduce a regularization model for RPNN with Group Lasso penalty, which deals with the structural sparse problem at the group level in this paper. Nevertheless, there are two main obstacles for introducing the Group Lasso penalty, one is numerical oscillation and the other is convergence analysis challenge. In doing so, we adopt smoothing function to approximate the Group Lasso penalty to overcome these drawbacks. Meanwhile, strong and weak convergence theorems, and monotonicity theorems are provided for this novel algorithm. We also demonstrate the efficiency of our proposed algorithm by numerical experiments, and compare it to the no regularizer, $L_{2}$ regularizer, $L_{1/2}$ regularizer, smoothing $L_{1/2}$ regularizer, and the Group Lasso regularizer, and also the relevant theoretical analysis has been verified. |
