Among the neural network models RBF(Radial Basis Function) network seems to be quite effective for a pattern recognition task such as handwritten numeral recognition since it is extremely flexible to accommodate various and minute variations in data. Recently we obtained a good recognition rate for handwritten numerals by using an RBF network. In this paper we show how to design an RBF network ...

Recently two general methods for explaining classification models and their predictions have been introduced. Both methods are based on an idea that importance of a feature or a group of features in a specific model can be estimated by simulating lack of knowledge about the values of the feature(s). For the majority of models this requires an approximation by averaging over all possible feature...

In continuous optimisation, Surrogate Models (SMs) are often indispensable components of optimisation algorithms aimed at tackling real-world problems whose candidate solutions are very expensive to evaluate. Because of the inherent spatial intuition behind these models, they are naturally suited to continuous problems but they do not seem applicable to combinatorial problems except for the spe...

A generalization of Schauder basis associated with the concept of generalized analytic functions is introduced. Corresponding concepts of density, completeness, biorthogonality and basicity are defined. Also, corresponding concept of the space of coefficients is introduced. Under certain conditions for the  corresponding operators, some properties of the space of coefficients and basicity crite...

In this paper, we present a direct solution method based on wavelet networks for image compression. Wavelet networks are a combination of radial basis function (RBF) networks and wavelet decomposition, where radial basis functions were replaced by wavelets. The results show that the wavelet networks approach succeeded to improve high performances in terms of compression ratio and reconstruction...

The existing Chinese Minorities OCR system is mainly oriented in the "literacy" level, the script recognition has not attracted the attention it deserves, and the area of recognizing the kinds of Chinese minority scripts is still in a blank. The method of recognizing the kinds of Chinese minority scripts based on wavelet analysis and Radial Basis Function Network (RBFN) is presented which adopt...

In this paper, a new approach for the compensation of unknown periodic disturbances by means of a neural network is presented. The neural controller supports the conventional controller by suppressing periodic disturbances. This is done by online learning in order to adapt to different operating conditions and to time varying unknown disturbances. The neural network learns an optimal compensati...

| Adaptive learning dynamics of the Radial Basis Function Network (RBFN) are compared with a scale-based clustering technique Won93] and a relationship between the two is pointed out. Using this link, it is shown how scale-based clustering can be done using the RBFN, with the Radial Basis Function (RBF) width as the scale parameter. The technique suggests the \right" scale at which the given da...

An essential requirement to create an accurate classifier ensemble is the diversity among the individual base classifiers. In this paper, Multi-View Forests, a method to construct ensembles of tree-structured radial basis function (RBF) networks using multi-view learning is proposed. In Multi-view learning it is assumed that the patterns to be classified are described by multiple feature sets (...

Three methods for improving the performance of (gaussian) radial basis function (RBF) networks were tested on the NETtaik task. In RBF, a new example is classified by computing its Euclidean distance to a set of centers chosen by unsupervised methods. The application of supervised learning to learn a non-Euclidean distance metric was found to reduce the error rate of RBF networks, while supervi...
