Guaranteed two-pass convergence for supervised and inferential learning
1Research and Technology, The Boeing Company, Seattle, WA 98124-2207, USA.
Abstract:
We present a theoretical analysis of a version of the LAPART adaptive inferencing neural network. Our main result is a proof that the new architecture, called LAPART 2, converges in two passes through a fixed training set of inputs. We also prove that it does not suffer from template proliferation. For comparison, Georgiopoulos et al. have proved the upper bound n-1 on the number of passes required for convergence for the ARTMAP architecture, where n is the size of the binary pattern input space. If the ARTMAP result is regarded as an n-pass, or finite-pass, convergence result, ours is then a two-pass, or fixed-pass, convergence result. Our results have added significance in that they apply to set-valued mappings, as opposed to the usual supervised learning model of affixing labels to classes.

Generalization, Discrimination, and Extinction
Generalization occurs when a behavior reinforced in one context is performed in similar situations. For instance, a student who studies diligently for calculus and receives excellent grades might apply the same study habits to psychology and history, expecting similar results. Generalization shows how learning in one setting can influence behavior in...

Prediction Intervals
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.
