The Potential of Prototype Styles of Generalization

D.R. Wilson, Tony R. Martinez · 1993

. There are many ways for a learning system to generalize from training set data. This paper presents several generalization styles using prototypes in an attempt to provide accurate generalization on training set data for a wide variety of applications. These generalization styles are efficient in terms of time and space, and lend themselves well to massively parallel architectures. Empirical results of generalizing on several real-world applications are given, and these results indicate that the prototype styles of generalization presented have potential to provide accurate generalization for many applications. 1.
