Abstract-An extremely simple technique for training the weights of a feedforward multilayer neural network is described and tested. The method, dubbed "neighbor annealing" is a simple random walk through weight space with a gradually decreasing step size. The approach is compared against backpropagation and particle swarm optimization on a variety of training tasks. Neighbor annealing is shown to perform as well or better on the test suite, and is also shown to have pragmatic advantages
