Multi-Layer Perceptron with Glial Network for Solving Two-Spiral Problem

In this study, we propose a multi-layer perceptron with a glial network which is inspired from the features of glias in the brain. All glias in the proposed network generate independent oscillations, and the oscillations propagate through the glial network with attenuation. We apply the proposed network to the two-spiral problem. Computer simulations show that the proposed network gains a better performance than the conventional multi-layer perceptron. key words: multi-layer perceptron, back propagation, glia, glial network, two-spiral problem
