چکیده

The Neocognitron and its related hierarchical models have been shown to be competitive in recognizing handwritten digits and objects. However, the tolerance of these models to several types of noise can be low. We will start by briefly overviewing some previous results regarding the tolerance of these models. Afterwards, we report the higher noise tolerance of the winner-take-all response in a hierarchical model over related models. We provide an analysis and interpretation of this tolerance under Bayesian decision theory. Finally, we report on how to further improve recognition for extremely noisy patterns.

A Comparison of Transfer Functions for Feature Extracting Layers in the Neocognitron

Many kinds of artiicial neural networks have been applied to the recognition of handwritten characters. Fukushima's neocognitron is one of few networks that demonstrates invariance to input translation and tolerance of a signiicant degree of input distortion and deformation. This paper shows that the behaviour of the neocognitron is dependent upon the form of non-linearity used by the feature e...

Identi cation of complex shapes using a selforganising neural

We present a multi layer, hierarchical neural system for automatic classiication of complex contour patterns. The system consists of a Neocognitron-like network structure combined with Self Organising Maps to automatically determine feature classes. We present results showing that multi-layer hierarchical networks are able to tolerate pattern distortion considerably better than standard neural ...

Simulation of the Neocognitron on a CCD Parallel Processing Architecture

The neocognitron is a neural network for pattern recognition and feature extraction. An analog CCD parallel processing architecture developed at Lincoln Laboratory is particularly well suited to the computational requirements of shared-weight networks such as the neocognitron, and implementation of the neocognitron using the CCD architecture was simulated. A modification to the neocognitron tra...

Artificial vision by multi-layered neural networks: Neocognitron and its advances

The neocognitron is a neural network model proposed by Fukushima (1980). Its architecture was suggested by neurophysiological findings on the visual systems of mammals. It is a hierarchical multi-layered network. It acquires the ability to robustly recognize visual patterns through learning. Although the neocognitron has a long history, modifications of the network to improve its performance ar...

The Performance of the Neocognitron with Various S-Cell and C-Cell Transfer Functions

When a neural network solution to a problem (e.g. handwritten character recognition) is proposed, it is important to know if the structure of the network and the function of the component neurons are well suited to the task. Recent research has examined the structure of Fukushima's neocognitron and the eeect that it has on the classiication of distorted input patterns. We present results which ...
