Abstract

Networks based on basis set function expansions, such as the Radial Basis Function (RBF), or Separable Basis Function (SBF) networks, have non-linear parameters that are not trivial to optimize. Clustering techniques are frequently used to optimize positions of localized functions. Context-dependent fuzzy clustering techniques improve convergence of parameter optimization, leading to better networks and facilitating formulation of prototype-based logical rules that provide low-complexity models of data.
