MLP modular networks for multi-class recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a connectionist modular approach which is potentially able to deal with real-size applications as its size does not increase drastically with the size of the problem. It relies on very simple cooperation schemes of modular MLP networks especially designed for some sub-tasks. Several cutting up are tested : from two or three nets to one network per class. These approaches are compared on a multi-class classification task (recognition of typographic characters) in terms of performance rates.

Multi-layer perceptrons and probabilistic neural networks for phoneme recognition
Phoneme recognition can be viewed as classifying multivariate observations. Multi-layer perceptrons (MLP) and probabilistic neural networks (PNN) approach the decision problem using two complementary models. The MLP models the discriminant surfaces between different phoneme categories, essentially by piece-wise planar approximations, while the PNN approximates class conditional probability dens...
متن کاملNeural Network Based Offline Signature Recognition and Verification System
Handwritten signatures are the most natural way of authenticating a person’s identity. An offline signature verification system generally consists of four components: data acquisition, preprocessing, feature extraction, recognition and verification. This paper presents a method for verifying handwritten signature by using NN architecture. In proposed methods the multi-layer perceptron (MLP), mo...
متن کاملA comparative study of OCON and MLP architectures for phoneme recognition
In this paper a comparative study between One-Class-OneNetwork (OCON) and Multi-Layered Perceptron (MLP) neural networks for vowel phoneme recognition is presented. The OCON architecture, first proposed by I.C.Jou et al 1991, is similar in design to a conventional feed-forward MLP, only each class had its own dedicated sub-network containing a single output node. Conventional MLPs usually consi...
متن کاملClassification of ECG signals using Hermite functions and MLP neural networks
Classification of heart arrhythmia is an important step in developing devices for monitoring the health of individuals. This paper proposes a three module system for classification of electrocardiogram (ECG) beats. These modules are: denoising module, feature extraction module and a classification module. In the first module the stationary wavelet transform (SWF) is used for noise reduction of ...
متن کاملIdentification of Houseplants Using Neuro-vision Based Multi-stage Classification System
In this paper, we present a machine vision system that was developed on the basis of neural networks to identify twelve houseplants. Image processing system was used to extract 41 features of color, texture and shape from the images taken from front and back of the leaves. The features were fed into the neural network system as the recognition criteria and inputs. Multilayer perceptron (MLP) ne...
