Abstract
We combine the perceptron algorithm with simulated annealing based search 
strategy, which employs the logarithmic cooling schedule c(k)=Gama/ln(k+2). 
The stochastic search of logarithmic simulated annealing is performed to a 
random subset of training samples associated with a perceptron. The task is
minimizing the classification error outputed by each perceptron in a depth-4
Classification Circuit, which outputs in a 'one against all' method the class
label for each testing sample.
