Gaussian neural networks have always suffered from the curse of dimensionality; the number of weights needed increases exponentially with the number of inputs and outputs. Many methods have been proposed to solve this problem by optimally or sub-optimally selecting the weights or centers of the Gaussian neural network [1],[2]. However, most of these attempts are not suitable for online implemen...

To reduce the Gaussian noise from Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) corrupted during their acquisition process, we propose a filtering method based RBF neural network. Indeed, the Gaussian noise is considered and formulated as constraints in an energy functional base on minimization of Total Variation (TV). In the RBF training stage, the backprobagation algorithm is used to solve the TV functional...

While engineers have been quantifying rainfall-runoff processes since the mid-19th century, it is only in the last decade that artificial neural network models have been applied to the same task. This paper evaluates two neural networks in this context: the popular multilayer perceptron (MLP), and the radial basis function network (RBF). Using six-hourly rainfall-runoff data for the River Yangt...

A high performance speaker-independent isolated-word hybrid speech recognizer was developed which combines Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) and Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural networks. In recognition experiments using a speaker-independent E-set database, the hybrid recognizer had an error rate of 11.5% compared to 15.7% for the robust unimodal Gaussian HMM recognizer upon which the hybrid syste...

We describe here the application of a type of artificial neural network, the Gaussian radial basis function (RBF) network, in the identification of a large number of phytoplankton strains from their 11-dimensional flow cytometric characteristics measured by the European Optical Plankton Analyser instrument. The effect of network parameters on optimization is examined. Optimized RBF networks rec...

A complex radial basis function neural network is proposed for equalization of quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signals in communication channels. The network utilizes a sequential learning algorithm referred to as complex minimal resource allocation network (CMRAN) and is an extension of the MRAN algorithm originally developed for online learning in real-valued radial basis function (RBF)...
