| Abstract(in English) | In our previous paper, we have proposed a divide-and-conquer modular neural network learning paradigm for pattern classification. In this paper, we show the power and effectiveness of this paradigm through a large-scale benchmark problem, the shuttle problem, which is difficult to be learned by plain multilayer perceptrons (MLPs). We demonstrate how to decompose the shuttle problem into a series of independent smaller and simpler two-class problems based on class relations among the training data. We also demonstrate how to learn each of the two-class problems by a network module in parallel and recombine the outputs of the trained modules into a solution to the original problem. The simulation results show that our modular network has several significant advantages over plain MLPs such as fast learning and good generalization performance. |
