Training of CC4 Neural Network with Spread Unary Coding

Abstract

This paper adapts the corner classification algorithm (CC4) to train the neural networks using spread unary inputs. This is an important problem as spread unary appears to be at the basis of data representation in biological learning. The modified CC4 algorithm is tested using the pattern classification experiment and the results are found to be good. Specifically, we show that the number of misclassified points is not particularly sensitive to the chosen radius of generalization.
