A training method and apparatus for creating a new neuron

摘要

A training method for creating a new neuron in a feature space having at least one existing neuron comprises the steps of (a) generating a feature vector representative of a training input, wherein said training input corresponds to one of a plurality of possible outputs; and (b) if no existing neuron corresponding to said training input encompasses said feature vector then creating said new neuron, wherein said new neuron comprises a boundary defined by two or more neuron axes of different length, wherein said feature space comprises an existing feature vector.
