Incorrect Application of Yilmaz-Poli (2022) Initialisation Method in dePater-Mitici 2023 paper entitled A mathematical framework for improved weight initialization of neural networks using Lagrange

In this letter to the editor we report on a methodological error made in the article entitled A mathematical framework for improved weight initialization of neural networks using Lagrange multipliersby dePater and Mitici recently appeared in this journal. The error relates to the incorrect application of a weight initialisation method we derived, published last year in this same journal.(c) 2023 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
