In this paper, we proposed a new pattern classifier which can be incrementally learned, be added new class in learning time, and handle with analog data. Proposed pattern classifier has hierarchical structure and the classification rate is improved by using different metric for each levels. Proposed model is based on the Gaussian ARTMAP which is an artificial neural network model for the pattern classification. We hierarchically constructed the Gaussian ARTMAP and proposed the Principal Component Emphasis(P.C.E) method to be learned different features in each levels. And we defined new metric based on the P.C.E. P.C.E is a method that discards dimensions whose variation are small, that represents common attributes in the class. And remains dimensions whose variation are large. In the learning process, if input pattern is misclassified, P.C.E are performed and the modified pattern is learned in sub network. Experimental results indicate that Hierarchical Gaussian ARTMAP yield better classification result than the other pattern recognition algorithms on variable data set including real applicable problem.

This paper discusses the application of fuzzy-ARTMAP neural network to compensate the nonlinearity of satellite communication channel. The fuzzy-ARTMAP is the class of ART(adaptive resonance theory) architectures designed fur supervised loaming. It has capabilities not fecund in other neural network approaches, that includes a small number of parameters, no requirements fur the choice of initial weights, automatic increase of hidden units, and capability of adding new data without retraining previously trained data. By a match tracking process with vigilance parameter, fuzzy-ARTMAP neural network achieves a minimax teaming rule that minimizes predictive error and maximizes generalization. Thus, the system automatically leans a minimal number of recognition categories, or hidden units, to meet accuracy criteria. As a input-converting process for implementing fuzzy-ARTMAP equalizer, the sigmoid function is chosen to convert actual channel output to the proper input values of fuzzy-ARTMAP. Simulation studies are performed over satellite nonlinear channels. QPSK signals with Gaussian noise are generated at random from Volterra model. The performance of proposed fuzzy-ARTMAP equalizer is compared with MLP equalizer.

In this paper, fuzzy-ARTMAP equalizer is developed mainly for overcoming the obstacles, such as complexity and long training, in implementing the previously developed neural-basis equalizers. The proposed fuzzy-ARTMAP equalizer is fast and easy to train and includes capabilities not found in other neural network approaches a small number of parameters, no requirements for the choice of initial weights, no risk of getting trapped in local minima, and capability of adding new data without retraining previously trained data. In simulation studies, binary signals were generated at random from linear channel with Gaussian noise. The performance of the proposed equalizer is compared with other neural net basis equalizers, such as MLP and RBF equalizers. The fuzzy ARTMAP equalizer combines relatively simple structure and fast processing speed; it gives accurate results for nonlinear problems that cannot be solved with a linear equalizer.

This paper studies the application of a fuzzy-ARTMAP (FAM) neural network to multi-user detector (MUD) for direct sequence (DS)-code division multiple access (CDMA) system. This method shows new solution for solving the problems, such as complexity and long training, which is found when implementing the previously developed neural-basis MUDs. The proposed FAM based MUD is fast and easy to train and includes capabilities not found in other neural network approaches; a small number of parameters, no requirements for the choice of initial weights, automatic increase of hidden units, no risk of getting trapped in local minima, and the capabilities of adding new data without retraining previously trained data. In simulation studies, binary signals were generated at random in a linear channel with Gaussian noise. The performance of FAM based MUD is compared with other neural net based MUDs in terms of the bit error rate.
