SEPARATE: a machine learning method based on semi-global partitions
Juan Luis Castro, Miguel Delgado, Carlos Javier Mantas · IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks · 2000
This article presents a machine learning method for solving classification and approximation problems. This method uses the divide-and-conquer algorithm design technique (taken from machine learning models based on a tree), with the aim of achieving design ease and good results on the training examples and allows semi-global actions on its computational elements (a feature taken from neural networks), with the aim of attaining good generalization and good behavior in the presence of noise in training examples. Finally, some results obtained after solving several problems with a particular implementation of SEPARATE are presented together with their analysis.
