"Generalized radial basis function networks for classification and novelty detection: Self-organization of optimal Bayesian decision" S. Albrecht, J. Busch, M. Kloppenburg, F. Metze und P. Tavan
Neural Networks 13: 1075-1093 (2000)
Abstract: By adding reverse connections from the output layer to the
central layer it is shown how a generalized radial basis
functions (GRBF) network can self-organize to form a Bayesian
classifier which is also capable of novelty detection.
For that purpose three stochastic sequential learning rules
are introduced from biological considerations which pertain to
the centers, the shapes, and the widths of the receptive fields
of the neurons and allow a joint optimization of all network
parameters. The rules are shown to generate maximum
likelihood estimates of the class-conditional probability
density functions of labeled data in terms of multivariate
normal mixtures. Upon combination with a hierarchy of
deterministic annealing procedures, which implement a
multiple scale approach, the learning process can avoid the
convergence problems hampering conventional
expectation-maximization algorithms. Using an example
from the field of speech recognition
the stages of the learning process and the capabilities of the
self-organizing GRBF classifier are illustrated.
