TL;DR

Results on a widely used face database show the continuous n-tuple classifier to be as accurate as any method reported in literature, while having the advantages of speed and simplicity over other methods.

Abstract

The author describes the continuous n-tuple classifier: a new type of n-tuple classifier that is ideally suited to problems where the input is continuous or multi-level rather than binary. Results on a widely used face database show the continuous n-tuple classifier to be as accurate as any method reported in literature, while having the advantages of speed and simplicity over other methods.

The paper demonstrates a successful application of PDBNN to face recognition applications on two public (FERET and ORL) and one in-house (SCR) databases and experimental results on three different databases such as recognition accuracies as well as false rejection and false acceptance rates are elaborated.

It is argued that the application of this type of encoding can provide desirable monotonic mapping between input and pattern space distances without the penalty of very long binary patterns as is the case for bar-chart encoding.

Neural NetworksThe Theoretical and Experimental Status of the n-tuple Classifier

35 Citations1998Richard Rohwer, Michał Morciniec

Large-scale experiments carried out on StatLog project datasets confirm the n-tuple method as a viable competitor to more popular methods due to its speed, simplicity and accuracy on the majority of a wide variety of classification problems.

This paper examines the generalisation properties of various types of neural network, such as radial basis function systems and the multilayer perceptron (MLP), and it is concluded that their behaviour can be explained in terms of lowpass interpolation.
