Comparing Neural Network, Logistic Regression, and Discriminant Analysis for Knowledge Representation and Classification Explanation

چکیده
Many research studies have proved neural networks as a viable alternative to statistical models for classification tasks. However, compared with statistical models, neural networks have had the drawback of being unable to explain its classification logic until the development of rule extraction algorithms from trained neural networks. This research attempts to compare the results of the rule extraction algorithm GLARE with logistic regression and discriminant analysis in terms of their ability to identify important predictor variables and handle different levels of difficult classification tasks. Our experimental results show that GLARE can precisely identify important predictor variables as its statistical counterparts. In addition, GLARE's extracted rules generate higher correct classification rates than statistical models in a moderately difficult classification task. Most importantly, GLARE can reveal nonlinear relationship between predictor variables and tobe-predicted classes, which many statistical classifiers cannot.

متن کاملNeuron Mathematical Model Representation of Neural Tensor Network for RDF Knowledge Base Completion
In this paper, a state-of-the-art neuron mathematical model of neural tensor network (NTN) is proposed to RDF knowledge base completion problem. One of the difficulties with the parameter of the network is that representation of its neuron mathematical model is not possible. For this reason, a new representation of this network is suggested that solves this difficulty. In the representation, th...
