Method and apparatus for training for generating and for adjusting a neuron

摘要

A training method and apparatus for generating a neuron comprises steps of or means for selecting a plurality of training inputs, wherein each training input corresponds to a first possible output, characterizing the quality of each of said plurality of training inputs, selecting from said characterized training inputs a training input that is of higher quality than at least one other training input of said characterized training inputs and creating said neuron in accordance with said selected characterized training input. A method and apparatus for adjusting a neuron encompassing a plurality of feature vectors comprises steps of or means for characterizing the spatial distribution of said feature vectors, and spatially adjusting said neuron in accordance with the characterization of the above step. <IMAGE>
