The back-propagation learning algorithm for multi-layered neural networks, which is often successfully used in practice, appears very time consuming even for small network architectures or training tasks. However, no results are yet known concerning the complexity of this algorithm. Blum and Rivest proved that training even a three-node network is NP-complete for the case when a neuron computes the discrete linear threshold function. We generalize the technique from their NP-hardness proof for a continuous sigmoidal function used in back-propagation. We show that training a three-node sigmoid network with an additional constraint on the output neuron function (e.g., zero threshold) is NP-hard. As a consequence of this, we find training sigmoid feedforward networks, with a single hidden layer and with zero threshold of output neuron, to be intractable. This implies that back-propagation is generally not an efficient algorithm, unless at least P = NP. We rake advantage of these results by showing the NP-hardness of a special nonlinear programming problem. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd.
