MONNA: A multiple ordinate neural network architecture
Résumé
This article aims at showing an architecture of neural networks designed for the classification of data distributed among a high number of classes. A significant gain in the global classification rate can be obtained using our architecture. This latter is based on a set of several little neural networks, each one discriminating only two classes. The specialization of each neural network simplifies their structure and improves the classification. Moreover, the learning determines automatically the number of hidden neurons. The discussion is illustrated by tests on data bases from the UCI machine learning database repository. The experimental results show that this architecture can achieve a faster learning, simpler neural networks and an improved performance in classification.
