A novel combination of the adaptive function neural network (ADFUNN) and on-line snap-drift learning is presented in this paper and applied to optical and pen-based recognition of handwritten digits [E. Alpaydin, F. Alimoglu for Optical Recognition of Handwritten Digits and E. Alpaydin, C. Kaynak for Pen-Based Recognition of Handwritten Digits http://www.ics.uci.edu/~mlearn/databases/optdigits/http://www.ics.uci.edu/~mlearn/databases/pendigits/]. Snap-drift [S.W. Lee, D. Palmer-Brown, C.M. Roadknight, Performance-guided neural network for rapidly self-organising active network management (Invited Paper), Journal of Neurocomputing, 61C, 2004, pp. 5-20] employs the complementary concepts of common (intersection) feature learning (called snap) and LVQ (drift towards the input patterns) learning, and is a fast, unsupervised method suitable for on-line learning and non-stationary environments where new patterns are continually introduced. ADFUNN [M. Kang, D. Palmer-Brown, An adaptive function neural network (ADFUNN) for phrase recognition, in: The International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN05), Montreal, Canada, 2005, D. Palmer-Brown, M. Kang, ADFUNN: An adaptive function neural network, in: The 7th International Conference on Adaptive and Natural Computing Algorithms (ICANNGA05), Coimbra, Portugal, 2005] is based on a linear piecewise neuron activation function that is modified by a novel gradient descent supervised learning algorithm. It has recently been applied to the Iris dataset, and a natural language phrase recognition problem, exhibiting impressive generalisation classification ability with no hidden neurons. The unsupervised single layer snap-drift is effective in extracting distinct features from the complex cursive-letter datasets, and the supervised single layer ADFUNN is capable of solving linearly inseparable problems rapidly. In combination within one network (SADFUNN), these two methods are more powerful and yet simpler than MLPs, at least on this problem domain. We experiment on SADFUNN with two handwritten digits datasets problems from the UCI Machine Learning repository. The problems are learned rapidly and higher generalisation results are achieved than with a MLP.
