An incremental learning algorithm for supervised neural network with contour preserving classification
Piyabute Fuangkhon, Thitipong Tanprasert · 2009
This paper presents an alternative algorithm for integrating the existing knowledge of a supervised learning neural network with the new training data. The algorithm allows the existing knowledge to age out in slow rate as a neural network is gradually retrained with consecutive sets of new samples, resembling the change of application locality under a consistent environment. The algorithm also utilizes the contour preserving classification algorithm to increase the accuracy of classification. The experiment is performed on 2-dimension partition problem and the result convincingly confirms the effectiveness of the algorithm.
