Functional preprocessing for multilayer perceptrons

چکیده
In many applications, high dimensional input data can be considered as sampled functions. We show in this paper how to use this prior knowledge to implement functional preprocessings that allow to consistently reduce the dimension of the data even when they have missing values. Preprocessed functions are then handled by a numerical MLP which approximates the theoretical functional MLP. A successful application to spectrometric data is proposed to illustrate the method.

ICA as a preprocessing technique for classification∗ V.Sanchez-Poblador,
In this paper we propose the use of the independent component analysis (ICA) [1] technique for improving the classification rate of decision trees and multilayer perceptrons [2], [3]. The use of an ICA for the preprocessing stage, makes the structure of both classifiers simpler, and therefore improves the generalization properties. The hypothesis behind the proposed preprocessing is that an ICA...
متن کاملComparing Hybrid Systems to Design and Optimize Artificial Neural Networks
In this paper we conduct a comparative study between hybrid methods to optimize multilayer perceptrons: a model that optimizes the architecture and initial weights of multilayer perceptrons; a parallel approach to optimize the architecture and initial weights of multilayer perceptrons; a method that searches for the parameters of the training algorithm, and an approach for cooperative co-evolut...
متن کاملMulti-layer Perceptrons for Functional Data Analysis: A Projection Based Approach
In this paper, we propose a new way to use Functional MultiLayer Perceptrons (FMLP). In our previous work, we introduced a natural extension of Multi Layer Perceptrons (MLP) to functional inputs based on direct manipulation of input functions. We propose here to rely on a representation of input and weight functions thanks to projection on a truncated base. We show that the proposed model has t...
متن کاملNeural networks applied to the determination of thickness and defocus from High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy images
In this paper we show how neural networks can be used as powerful tools for quantitative extraction of relevant information from high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) images. Different data preprocessing and modelling strategies (including Multilayer Perceptrons and Probabilistic Neural Networks) were analyzed. The methodology has been applied to the determination of thicknes...
متن کاملApplying Representation Learning for Educational Data Mining
Educational Data Mining is an area of growing interest, given the increase of available data and generalization of online learning environments. In this paper we present a first approach to integrating Representation Learning techniques in Educational Data Mining by adding autoencoders as a preprocessing step in a standard performance prediction problem. Preliminary results do not show an impro...
