Abstract: Random cost simulations were introduced as a method to investigate optimization problems in systems with conflicting constraints. Here I study the approach in connection with the training of a feed-forward multilayer perceptron, as used in high energy physics applications. It is suggested to use random cost simulations for generating a set of selected configurations. On each of those final minimization may then be performed by a standard algorithm. For the training example at hand many almost degenerate local minima are thus found. Some effort is spend to discuss whether they lead to equivalent classifications of the data.
