ABSTRACT:
On the basis of a device without hidden neurons, arbitrary samples are taken from a set of learning samples so as to be presented as objects to be classified. Each time if the response is not correct, a hidden neuron (H.sub.i) is introduced with a connection to the output neuron (O.sub.j) of the class of the sample, whereas if the response is correct, no neuron whatsoever is added. During this introduction phase for hidden neurons, the neurons are subdivided into groups by searching for each of the introduced neurons whether it falls within an existing group, in which case it is incorporated therein; otherwise a new group is created around this neuron. The association with a group is defined as a function of the distance from the "creator" neuron. This device could be applied in character recognition systems as one example.
