Modular Structures (two-level) Divide-and-conquer principle: divide the task into modules and then integrate the individual results into a collective decision. Two typical modular networks: (1) mixture-of-experts (MOE) which utilizes the expert-level modules, (2) decision-based neural networks (DBNN) based on the class-level modules.
Expert-level (Rule-level) Modules: • Each expert serves the function of • extracting local features and • making local recommendations. • The rules in the gating network are used to decide how to combine recommendations from several local experts, with corresponding degree of confidences.
Class-level modules: Class-level modules are natural basic partitioning units, where each module specializes in distinguishing its own class from the others. In contrast to expert-level partitioning, this OCON structure facilitates a global (or mutual) supervised training scheme. In global inter-class supervised learning, any dispute over a pattern region by (two or more) competing classes may be effectively resolved by resorting to the teacher's guidance.
Three-level hierarchical structures: Apply the divide-and-conquer principle twice: one time on the expert-level and another on the class-level. • Depending on the order used, two kinds of hierarchical networks: • one has an experts-in-class construct and • another a classes-in-expert Construct.
BP Multi-Layer Perceptron(MLP) A BP Multi-Layer Perceptron(MLP) possesses adaptive learning abilities to estimate sampled functions, represent these samples, encode structural knowledge, and inference inputs to outputs via association. Its main strength lies in its (sufficiently large number of ) hidden units, thus a large number of interconnections. The MLP neural networks enhance the ability to learn and generalize from training data. Namely, MLP can approximate almost any function.
