Try Scott Fahlman's Cascade Correlation: adds nodes as needed. Contact him at fahlman@cs.cmu.edu; software (both cascade and quickprop) available by ftp at pt.cs.cmu.edu, in directory /afs/cs/project/connect/code (you must go to this directory directly) I got his reports too, I'm not sure if they're in the same directory.
