       abstract = "Backpropagation is a powerful and widely used procedure for training multilayer,
         feedforward artificial neural networks. The procedure can be seen as a special case of the reverse
         mode of computational differentiation. This connection between backpropagation and computational
         differentiation leads us to envision a scenario wherein neural networks can be trained by using
         gradient descent methods and computational differentiation tools like ADOL--C. The primary advantage
         offered by such an approach is the possibility of training networks consisting of heterogeneous
         functional units---a notion we refer to as {\em generalized neural networks.} This approach, in
         conjunction with {\em evolutionary algorithms,} can be used to produce near-optimal designs.
         This paper presents this approach in more detail and demonstrates its usefulness through simulation
         results.",
