This paper discusses higher order derivative computing for universal learning networks that form a super set of all kinds of neural networks. Two computing algorithms, backward and forward propagation, are proposed. Using a technique called “local description” expresses the proposed algorithms very simply. Numerical simulations demonstrate the usefulness of higher order derivatives in neural network training.
