Abstract
The backpropagation network (BPN) is now widely used in the field of pattern recognition because this artificial neural network can classify complex patterns and perform nontrivial mapping functions. In this paper, we propose a multi-level backpropagation network (MLBPN) model as a classifier for practical pattern recognition systems. The described model reserves the benefits of the BPN and derives the extra benefits of this MLBPN with two fold: (1) the MLBPN can reduce the complexity of BPN, and (2) a speed-up of the recognition process is attained. The experimental results verify these characteristics and show that the MLBPN model is a practical classifier for pattern recognition systems.<>
