On the Validation of the DIMLP Neural Network
نویسنده
چکیده
Rules are extracted from the DIMLP neural network in polynomial time with respect to the size of the classification problem and the size of the network. With rules is possible to ask how well do inferences made compare with knowledge and heuristics of experts. Although fidelity of generated rules from the training set is 100%, perfect fidelity on new unknown data samples is not guaranteed. In this work we introduce a local dynamic algorithm that makes rules consistent with new unknown cases. The presented method is computationally tractable and produces small changes in a rulebase.

Is it worth generating rules from neural network ensembles?
Although many authors generated comprehensible models from individual networks, much less work has been done in the explanation of ensembles. DIMLP is a special neural network model from which rules are generated at the level of a single network and also at the level of an ensemble of networks. We applied ensembles of 25 DIMLP networks to several datasets of the public domain and a classificati...
متن کاملEnsemble strategies to build neural network to facilitate decision making
There are three major strategies to form neural network ensembles. The simplest one is the Cross Validation strategy in which all members are trained with the same training data. Bagging and boosting strategies pro-duce perturbed sample from training data. This paper provides an ideal model based on two important factors: activation function and number of neurons in the hidden layer and based u...

The accurate determination of river flow in watersheds without sufficient data is one of the major challenges in hydrology. In this regard, given the diversity of existing hydrological models, selection of an appropriate model requires evaluation of the performance of the hydrological models in each region. The objective of this study was to compare the performance of artificial neural network ...
متن کاملA Study on Rule Extraction from Neural Networks Applied to Medical Databases
The inherent black-box nature of neural networks is an important drawback with respect to the problem of knowledge discovery from databases. In this work our aim is to extract rules from multi-layer perceptrons. This is a starting point to explain the basis of neural network solutions for knowledge discovery to experts of domain applications. Our approach consists in characterizing discriminant...
متن کاملA Study on Rule Extraction from Several Combined Neural Networks
The problem of rule extraction from neural networks is NP-hard. This work presents a new technique to extract "if-then-else" rules from ensembles of DIMLP neural networks. Rules are extracted in polynomial time with respect to the dimensionality of the problem, the number of examples, and the size of the resulting network. Further, the degree of matching between extracted rules and neural netwo...
