✦ Synopsis

The use of a self-organizing neural network as a vector quantizer in the case of a nonstationary lattice is considered. The nonstationarity is handled by expanding the time-dependent parameters of the lattice into a suitable base. Several experimental results are presented concerning the behaviour of the neural network in vectorially quantizing the parameters of the nonstationary vocal tract modeling of speech. The results show how the neural network is able to reconstruct the spectral model also in the case of speech segments not previously used in the training phase, thus evidencing the inherent ability of the neural network to generalize.

A self-organizing neural network model is proposed to generate the skeleton of a pattern. The proposed neural net is topology-adaptive and has a few advantages over other self-organizing models. The model is dynamic in the sense that it grows in size over time. The model is especially designed to pr

A neural-network-based fuzzy system (NNFS) is proposed in this paper. It is a self-organizing neural-network which can partition the input spaces in a flexible way, based on the distribution of the training data in order to reduce the number of rules without any loss of modeling accuracy.

In this paper, we focus on the convergence of a stochastic neural process. In this process, a "physiologically plausible" Hebb's learning rule gives rise to a self-organization phenomenon. Some preliminary results concern the asymptotic behaviour of the nework given that the update of neurons is eit

A new model for generalized fuzzy inference neural networks (GFINN) is proposed in this paper. The networks consist of three layers: an input-output layer, an if layer, and a then layer. In each layer, there are the operational nodes. A GFINN can perform three representative fuzzy inference methods
