Supervised SOM Based Architecture versus Multilayer Perceptron and RBF Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
We address a contrastive study between the well known Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) and Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural networks and a SOM based supervised architecture in a number of data classification tasks. Well known databases like Breast Cancer, Parkinson and Iris were used to evaluate the three architectures by constructing confusion matrices. The results are encouraging and indicate that the SOM based supervised architecture generally achieves results as good as the MLP and slightly higher on some measures than the RBF network.

On Neural Network Classifiers with Supervised Training
A study on classification capability of neural networks is presented, considering two types of architectures with supervised training, namely Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) and Radial-Basis Function (RBF). To illustrate the classifiers’ construction, we have chosen a problem that occurs in real-life experiments, when one needs to distinguish between overlapping and Gaussian distributed classes. An...
متن کاملMonthly runoff forecasting by means of artificial neural networks (ANNs)
Over the last decade or so, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have become one of the most promising tools formodelling hydrological processes such as rainfall runoff processes. However, the employment of a single model doesnot seem to be an appropriate approach for modelling such a complex, nonlinear, and discontinuous process thatvaries in space and time. For this reason, this study aims at de...

متن کاملLearning in Feed-Forward Artificial Neural Networks II
Supervised Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) are information processing systems that adapt their functionality as a result of exposure to input-output examples. To this end, there exist generic procedures and techniques, known as learning rules. The most widely used in the neural network context rely in derivative information, and are typically associated with the Multilayer Perceptron (MLP). Ot...
