Inputs direct to second ("hidden") layer as well as...

Does anyone know of any work where (some) inputs go directly to the
hidden
layer as well as (other) inputs going into the first ("input") layer?
(Perhaps to
help control concept learning in the hidden layer.) I'm assuming a
feedforward
net.

I added that type of configuration to the network editor in my
EasyNN-plus application a few years ago. So far I have yet to see a
problem when that type of skip configuration is needed. It can make
learning faster but that's about it.

Searching the CANN archives in Google Groups

skip -jump layer 78 hits
-skip jump layer 54 hits
skip jump layer 8 hits

Hope this helps.
