Design and Analysis of Neural Networks Based on Linearly Translated Features

Abstract

In this paper, neural networks based on linearly translated features (LTFs) are presented. LTFs including uniform, non-uniform, and multiple translation vectors are embedded into feedforward neural networks. Learning algorithms are presented for the neural networks. Learning capabilities of the neural networks are analyzed. Experimental results on approximation’ identification, and evaluation problems are reported to substantiate the efficacy of the neural networks and learning algorithms.
