Abstract

We propose a neural network which can approximate Mahalanobis discriminant functions after being trained. It can be realized if a Bayesian neural network is equipped with two additional subnetworks. The training is performed sequentially and, hence, the past teacher signals need not be memorized. In this paper, we treat the two-category normal-distribution case. The results of simple simulations are included.
