A training system for a classifier utilizes both a back-propagation system to iteratively modify parameters of functions which provide raw output indications of desired categories, wherein the parameters are modified based on a weighted decay, and a probability determining system with further parameters that are determined during iterative training. A margin error metric may be combined with weight decay, and a sigmoid is used to calibrate the raw outputs to probability percentages for each category. A method of training such a system involves gathering a training set of inputs and desired corresponding outputs. Classifier parameters are then initialized and an error margin is calculated with respect to the classifier parameters. A weight decay is then used to adjust the parameters. After a selected number of times through the training set, the parameters are deemed in final form, and an optimization routine is used to derive a set of probability transducer parameters for use in calculating the probable classification for each input.
