Abstract

A new fuzzy-adaptive Hamming net with supervised and unsupervised learning is proposed in this paper. The new neural model is derived from fuzzy-adaptive Hamming net and retains the advantage of deleting the search time that is a potential serious problem for ART model. The new neural model sets different vigilance parameters for different clusters (hyper-rectangles will be used in this paper). This feature makes input pattern classification more efficient when different hyper-rectangles occupy different sizes of characteristic spaces. The newly proposed supervised and unsupervised learning rule which only establishes non-cross overlapped hyper-rectangles, does not affect other hyper-rectangles during expansion and makes the classification more stable. In addition, the new learning rule allows the creation of nested hyper-rectangles in order to resolve the problem of non-convex input patterns. Simulations of the new net to palm prints recognition have been performed and good performance has been demonstrated.
