and follow the algorithm until that performance level is obtained. At
this time, do not validate the network. Save it and then demand
better performance. Obviously, we will immediately add a hidden
neuron. A new training test set may then have to be merged into the
training set. The algorithm is run until either we get sick of dealing
with a huge training set, or our new expectation is met. As long as the
fimdamental assumption of the quality of the test sets is met, our
actions are legal. Our performance goal is limited only by our ability
to collect new data and by our computational resources ...
