Three-staged Neocognitron: Optimal Thereshold and Thinning-out of Cells

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) The neocognitron is a hierarchical multi-layered neural network
capable of robust visual pattern recognition.
In the neocognitron a number of modules, each of which consists of an S- and a C-cell layers, are connected in cascade.
The conventional neocognitoron consisted of four stages of the modules. In this paper, we propose a new neocognitron consisting of three stages,
and compares the recognition rate of the new neocognitron and the conveitional four staged neocognitoron.
To reduce the computational cost, cells in each layer are thinned out. The thinning-out ratio at the intermediate stage of the three staged neocognitron is 3:1, instead of the 2:1 thinning-out ratio for the conventional four-staged neocognitoron.
Computer simulation show that the recognition rate is improved by the three-staged neocognitron than by the four staged network.
However, the total number of connections to S-cells in the network, which is proportional to computational cost, is still larger than that of the four-staged network even if the thinning-out ratio at the intermediate stage is increased to 3:1.
