RBF Networks from Boosted Rules
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel method for constructing RBF networks is presented. It is based on Boosting, an ensemble method that combines several classifiers obtained using any other classification method. If the classifiers that are going to be combined by boosting are radialbasis functions, then the boosting method produces a RBF network as result. The method for constructing a RBF is based on obtaining a decision rule and using the attributes and values that appear in the rule for selecting the centers and radii of the RBF.

Rule-Extraction from Radial Basis Function Networks
Radial basis neural (RBF) networks provide an excellent solution to many pattern recognition and classi cation problems. However, RBF networks are also a local representation technique that enables the easy conversion of the hidden units into symbolic rules. This paper examines rules extracted from RBF networks. We use the iris ower classication task and a vibration diagnosis classi cation task...
متن کاملDescartes' Rule of Signs for Radial Basis Function Neural Networks
We establish versions of Descartes' rule of signs for radial basis function (RBF) neural networks. The RBF rules of signs provide tight bounds for the number of zeros of univariate networks with certain parameter restrictions. Moreover, they can be used to infer that the Vapnik-Chervonenkis (VC) dimension and pseudodimension of these networks are no more than linear. This contrasts with previou...
متن کاملLinguistic Rule Extraction From a Simplified RBF Neural Network
SUMMARY Representing the concept of numerical data by linguistic rules is often desir able. In this paper, we present a novel rule-extraction algorithm from the radial basis function (RBF) neural network classifier for representing the hidden concept of numerical data. Gaussian function is used as the basis function of the RBF network. When training the RBF neural network, we allow for large o...
متن کاملTraining without data: Knowledge Insertion into RBF Neural Networks
Often, in real-world situations no actual data is available for training neural networks but the domain expert has a good idea of what to expect in terms of input and output parameter values. If the expert can express these relationships in the form of rules, this would provide a resource too valuable to ignore. Fuzzy logic is used to handle the imprecision and vagueness of natural language and...

Extracting rules from RBFs is not a trivial task because of nonlinear functions or high input dimensionality. In such cases, some of the hidden units of the RBF network have a tendency to be “shared” across several output classes or even may not contribute to any output class. To address this we have developed an algorithm called LREX (for Local Rule EXtraction) which tackles these issues by ex...
