In this paper, we extract the core idea of state perturbation from
Hopfield-type
neural networks and define state perturbation formulas to describe the general way of optimization methods. Departing from the core idea and the formulas, we propose a novel optimization method related to neural network structure, named structure perturbation optimization. Our method can produce a structure transforming process to retrain
Hopfield-type
neural networks to get better problem-solving ability. Experiments validate that our method effectively helps
Hopfield-type
neural networks to escape from local minima and get superior solutions.
