Neural network with variable excitability of input units (NN-VEIN)

Abstract

NN-VEIN is a novel approach to the structure of neural networks. In this structure the input units are located in a network of connections. Traditional NN and NN-VEIN are compared. In this structure, input units are located in weighted connections of which the degree may be variable from 0 to N. This degree varies with respect to the quantity of input data. This network is being used to design intelligent systems in medical diagnosis. The input layer in NN-VEIN in comparison with NN is completely different and is a really intelligent process. Clinical diagnosis expert systems created by the use of this network do not need an input pattern to be entered at once, but like an expert physician, any question is based on previous questions.<>
