概要: In order to achieve fast convergence and less computation for adaptive filters, a joint method combining a whitening process and the NLMS algorithm is a hopeful approach. However, updating the filter coefficients is not synchronized with the reflection coefficient updating resulting in unstable behavior. We analyzed effects of this, and proposed the Synchronized Learning Algorithm to solve this problem. Asynchronous error between them is removed, and fast convergence and small residual error were obtained. This algorithm, however, requires O(ML) computations, where M is an adaptive filter length, and L is a lattice predictor length. It is still large compared with the NLMS algorithm. In order to achieve less computation while the fast convergence is maintained, a block implementation method is proposed. The reflection coefficients are updated at some period, and are fixed during this interval. The proposed block implementation can be effectively applied to parallel form adaptive filters, such as sub-band adaptive filters. Simulation using speech signal shows that a learning curve of the proposed block implementation a little slower than the our original algorithm, but can save the computational complexity. 続きを見る

概要: In multilayer neural networks, network size reduction and fast convergence are important. For this purpose, trainable activation functions and nonlinear synapses have been proposed. When high-order polynomials are used for nonlinearity, the number of terms in the polynomial becomes a very large for a high-dimensional input. It causes very complicated networks and slow convergence. In this paper, a method to select the useful terms in the polynomial in a learning process is proposed. This method is based on the genetic algorithm (GA), and combines the internal information, magnitude of connection weihgts, to select the gene in the next generation. A mechanism of pruning the terms is inherently included. Many examples demonstrate usefulness of the proposed method compared with the ordinary GA method. Convergence is stable and the number of the selected terms is well reduced. 続きを見る

概要: Network size of neural networks is highly dependent on activation functions. A trainable activation function has been proposed, which consists of a linear combination of some basic functions. The activation functions and the connection weights are simultaneously trained. An 8 bit parity problem can be solved by using a single output unit and no hidden unit. In this paper, we expand this model to multilayer neural networks. Furthermore, nonlinear functions are used at the unit inputs in order to realize more flexible transfer functions. The previous activation functions and the new nonlinear functions are also simultaneously trained. More complex pattern classification problems can be solved with a small number of units and fast convergence. 続きを見る

概要: In this paper, a synthesis and learning method for the neural network with embedded gate units and a multi-dimensional input is proposed. When the input is multi-dimensional, gate functions are controlled in a multi-dimensional space. In this case, a hypersurface, on which the gate function is formed should be optimized. Furthermore, the switching points should be considered on the unit input. An initialization and a control methods for gate functions, which optimize the hypersurface, the switching point and the inclination, are proposed. The stabilization methods, already proposed, are further modified to be applied to the multi-dimensional environment. The gate functions can be trained together with the connection weights. Discontinuous function approximation is demonstrated to confirm usefulness of the proposed method. 続きを見る
