Abstract

In classification problems a neural network has to be able to classify clusters, i.e., to assign a label with each cluster. These labels can be either natural numbers, points in the space or vectors, belonging to a label space. The classification procedure is equivalent to being able to learn a “cluster splitting function” or a decision map. The training set provides labels with each cluster. This assignment defines a decision map. The network will be able to classify the testing data by learning this decision map, i.e., to state to which cluster testing points belong to.
