초록

In this paper, using the neural network design techniques, an adaptive Mahalanobis distance classifier(AMDC) is designed. This classifier has three layers: input layer, internal layer and output layer. The connection from input layer to internal layer is fully connected, and that from internal to output layer has partial connection that might be thought as an Oring. If two ormore clusters of patterns of one class are laid apart in the feature space, the network adaptively generate the internal nodes, whhch are corresponding to the subclusters of that class. The number of the output nodes in just same as the number of the classes to classify, on the other hand, the number of the internal nodes is defined by the number of the subclusters, and can be optimized by itself. Using the method of making the subclasses, the different patterns that are of the same class can easily be distinguished from other classes. If additional training is needed after the completion of the traning, the AMDC does not have to repeat the trainging that has already done. To test the performance of the AMDC, the experiments of classifying 500 Hangeuls were done. In experiment, 20 print font sets of Hangeul characters(10,000 cahracters) were used for training, and with 3 sets(1,500 characters), the AMDC was tested for various initial variance \ulcornerand threshold \ulcorner and compared with other statistical or neural classifiers.
