Pattern recognition properties of neural networks
J. Makhoul · 2002
Artificial neural networks have been applied largely to solving pattern recognition problems. The authors point out that a firm understanding of the statistical properties of neural nets is important for using them in an effective manner for pattern recognition problems. The author gives an overview of pattern recognition properties for feedforward neural nets, with emphasis on two topics: partitioning of the input space into classes and the estimation of posterior probabilities for each of the classes.>
