Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) In this report, a cooperative learning algorithm of multiple neural networks (NNs) is newly proposed and the experimental results for pattern classification problems are shown. The proposed cooperative learning algorithm has the following procedures: (i)clustering by NNs with different initial weights by using the error back propagation learning algorithm, (ii)classification by using other NNs. Finally, we apply the proposed cooperative learning algorithm for some pattern dassfication problems show its behaviour and effectiveness concretely.
