Abstract

This paper presents a new probabilistic neural network model, called IPNN (for Incremental Probabilistic Neural Network), which is able to learn continuously probability distributions from data flows. The proposed model is inspired by the Specht's general regression neural network, but have several improvements which makes it more suitable to be used on-line in and robotic tasks. Moreover, IPNN is able to automatically define the network structure in an incremental way, with new units added whenever necessary to represent new training data. The performed experiments shows that IPNN is very useful in regression and reinforcement learning tasks.
