A Design Method for Blind Equalizers Using Multilayer Perceptrons.

A Linear Learning Method for Multilayer Perceptrons Using Least-Squares

Training multilayer neural networks is typically carried out using gradient descent techniques. Ever since the brilliant backpropagation (BP), the first gradient-based algorithm proposed by Rumelhart et al., novel training algorithms have appeared to become better several facets of the learning process for feed-forward neural networks. Learning speed is one of these. In this paper, a learning a...

Functional preprocessing for multilayer perceptrons

In many applications, high dimensional input data can be considered as sampled functions. We show in this paper how to use this prior knowledge to implement functional preprocessings that allow to consistently reduce the dimension of the data even when they have missing values. Preprocessed functions are then handled by a numerical MLP which approximates the theoretical functional MLP. A succes...

Recognition of Handwritten Digits Using Multilayer Perceptrons

Neural networks are often used for pattern recognition. They prove to be a popular choice for OCR (Optical Character Recognition) systems, especially when dealing with the recognition of printed text. In this paper, multilayer perceptrons are used for the recognition of handwritten digits. The accuracy achieved proves that this application is a working prototype that can be further extended int...

Systematic Treatment of Failures Using Multilayer Perceptrons

This paper discusses the empirical evaluation of improving generalization performance of neural networks by systematic treatment of training and test failures. As a result of systematic treatment of failures, multilayer perceptron (MLP) discriminants were developed as discrimination techniques. The experiments presented in this paper illustrate the application of discrimination techniques using...
