چکیده
In this paper we present a parallel and modular multi-sieving neural network (PMSN) architecture for constructive learning. This PMSN architecture is dierent from existing constructive learning networks such as the cascade correlation architecture. The constructing element of the PMSNs is a compound modular network rather than a hidden unit. This compound modular network is called a sieving module (SM). In the PMSN a complex learning task is decomposed into a set of relatively simple subtasks automatically. Each of these subtasks is solved by a corresponding individual SM and all of these SMs are processed in parallel.

A Multi-Sieving Neural Network Architecture That Decomposes Learning Tasks Automatically
This paper presents a multi-sieving network (MSN) architecture and a multi-sieving learning (MSL) algorithm for it. The basic idea behind MSN architecture is the multi-sieve method, that is, patterns are classified by a rough sieve at the beginning and done by finer ones gradually. MSN is constructed by adding a sieving module (SM) adaptively with progress of training. SM consists of two differ...
متن کاملMulti-Step-Ahead Prediction of Stock Price Using a New Architecture of Neural Networks
Modelling and forecasting Stock market is a challenging task for economists and engineers since it has a dynamic structure and nonlinear characteristic. This nonlinearity affects the efficiency of the price characteristics. Using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is a proper way to model this nonlinearity and it has been used successfully in one-step-ahead and multi-step-ahead prediction of di...
متن کاملConstructively Learning a Near-Minimal Neural Network Architecture
AbetractRather than iteratively manually examining a variety of pre-specified architectures, a constructive learning algorithm dynamically creates a problem-specific neural network architecture. Here we present an revised version of our parallel constructive neural network learning algorithm which constructs such an architecture. The three steps of searching for points on separating hyperplanes...

Constructive learning algorithms ooer an approach for incremental construction of potentially near-minimal neural network architectures for pattern classiication tasks. Such algorithms help overcome the need for ad-hoc and often inappropriate choice of network topology in the use of algorithms that search for a suitable weight setting in an otherwise a-priori xed network architecture.

Constructive learning algorithms offer an approach for incremental construction of potentially near-minimal neural network architectures for pattern classification tasks. Such algorithms help overcome the need for adhoc and often inappropriate choice of network topology in the use of algorithms that search for a suitable weight setting in an otherwise a-priori fixed network architecture.
