Results:

  1. Extension of the Modeling Field Theory neural network for the classification of objects (as seen in ICANN 06)

the system is able to dynamically adapt when an additional feature is introduced during learning

Description:

  • Test 1: Consider the case in which we have the 5 objects, initially with only one-feature information. We can consider color information only on Red, the first of the 3 RGB feature values,

The objects have the following R feature values: O1 = [0.1], O2 = [0.2], O3 = [0.3], O4 = [0.5], O5 = [0.5].

Figure 1: Time evolution of the fields with only the first feature being used as input. Only 4models are found, with two initial random fields converging towards the same .5 Red concept model value.

 

  • Test 2: Let us now consider the case in which we add information from the second color sensor, Green. The object input data will now look like these: O1 = [0.1, 0.4], O2 =[0.2, 0.5], O3 = [0.3, 0.2], O4 = [0.5, 0.3], O5 = [0.5, 0.1]. The same MFT algorithm is applied with 5 initial random fields. For the first 12500 training cycles (half of the previous training time), only the first feature is utilized. At timestep 12500, both features are considered when computing the fuzzy similarities.
