Research on Multi-Degree-of-Freedom Neurons with Weighted Graphs.

In this paper, we redefine the sample points set in the feature space from the point of view of weighted graph and propose a new covering model — Multi-Degree-of-Freedom Neurons (MDFN). Base on this model, we describe a geometric learning algorithm with 3-degree-of-freedom neurons. It identifies the sample points set's topological character in the feature space, which is different from the traditional "separation" method. Experiment results demonstrates the general superiority of this algorithm over the traditional PCA+NN algorithm in terms of efficiency and accuracy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
