NeuroScale: Novel Topographic Feature Extraction Using RBF Networks

Abstract

Dimension-reducing feature extraction neural network techniques which also preserve neighbourhood relationships in data have tra(cid:173) ditionally been the exclusive domain of Kohonen self organising maps. Recently, we introduced a novel dimension-reducing feature extraction process, which is also topographic, based upon a Radial Basis Function architecture. It has been observed that the gener(cid:173) alisation performance of the system is broadly insensitive to model order complexity and other smoothing factors such as the kernel widths, contrary to intuition derived from supervised neural net(cid:173) work models. In this paper we provide an effective demonstration of this property and give a theoretical justification for the apparent 'self-regularising' behaviour of the 'NEUROSCALE' architecture.
