Multi-classify Hybrid Multilayered Perceptron (HMLP) network for pattern recognition applications

Abstract

This paper introduces a Hybrid Multilayered Perceptron (HMLP) based classifier known as the Multi-Classify HMLP network (MCHMLP). This network is shown to be able to enhance the performance accuracy when compared to the conventional HMLP network. The Multi-Classify HMLP network architecture is trained using a Modified Recursive Prediction Error (MRPE). This study uses three benchmark datasets in order to measure the capability of the network. The results show that the proposed Multi-Classify HMLP network provides a significant improvement over the conventional HMLP network for pattern recognition applications. © 2012 IFIP International Federation for Information Processing.
