Similarity networks for heterogeneous data
نویسندگان
چکیده
A two-layer neural network is developed in which the neuron model computes a user-defined similarity function between inputs and weights. The neuron model is formed by the composition of an adapted logistic function with the mean of the partial input-weight similarities. The model is capable of dealing directly with variables of potentially different nature (continuous, ordinal, categorical); there is also provision for missing values. The network is trained using a fast two-stage procedure and involves the setting of only one parameter. In our experiments, the network achieves slightly superior performance on a set of challenging problems with respect to both RBF nets and RBF-kernel SVMs.

Distributed Incremental Least Mean-Square for Parameter Estimation using Heterogeneous Adaptive Networks in Unreliable Measurements
Adaptive networks include a set of nodes with adaptation and learning abilities for modeling various types of self-organized and complex activities encountered in the real world. This paper presents the effect of heterogeneously distributed incremental LMS algorithm with ideal links on the quality of unknown parameter estimation. In heterogeneous adaptive networks, a fraction of the nodes, defi...

Heterogeneous information network includes multiple types of objects and multiple types of links. Compared with Homogeneous information network which only contains objects of the same type, heterogeneous information network has more abundant semantic information. Heterogeneous information network is very common in our daily life, such as social networks. Similarity search in heterogeneous infor...
متن کاملFuzzy Inputs and Missing Data in Similarity-Based Heterogeneous Neural Networks
Fuzzy heterogeneous networks are recently introduced feed-forward neural network models composed of neurons of a general class whose inputs and weights are mixtures of continuous variables (crisp and/or fuzzy) with discrete quantities, also admitting missing data. These networks have net input functions based on similarity relations between the inputs to and the weights of a neuron. They thus a...

In recent years, with the growing number of online social networks, these networks have become one of the best markets for advertising and commerce, so studying these networks is very important. Most online social networks are growing and changing with new communications (new edges). Forecasting new edges in online social networks can give us a better understanding of the growth of these networ...
متن کاملFrom homogeneous to heterogeneous network alignment
Network alignment (NA) compares networks with the goal of finding a node mapping that uncovers highly similar (conserved) network regions. Existing NA methods are homogeneous, i.e., they can deal only with networks containing nodes and edges of one type. Due to increasing amounts of heterogeneous network data with nodes or edges of different types, we extend three recent state-of-the-art homoge...
متن کاملSimilarity-based Heterogeneous Neural Networks
This research introduces a general class of functions serving as generalized neuron models to be used in artificial neural networks. They are cast in the common framework of computing a similarity function, a flexible definition of a neuron as a pattern recognizer. The similarity endows the model with a clear conceptual view and leads naturally to handle heterogeneous information, in the form o...
