Multi-Valued Neuron with a periodic activation function - learning with negative examples

Abstract

The efficiency of Multi-Value Neuron and Multi-value Neuron with a periodic activation function are well presented in literature. Using these types of neurons, highly non-linear problems can be solved using a single neuron and not a multi-layer Neural Network (NN). On the other hand, using negative example during learning was shown to increase the overall efficiency. This paper brings these concepts together.
