Features of pattern data can be expressed in a more informative feature domain in order to improve the classification performance. This paper proposes a new implementation of the multi-layer feed-forward neural network that can do classification based on the frequency features extracted by the first hidden layer that performs correlational filter operation. The correlational feature extraction ...
