Abstract

Continuous piecewise linear functions play an import role in approximation, regression and classification, and the problem of their explicit representation is still an open problem. In this paper, we propose a new form of representation,thus it can be seen clearly that they are actually a special kind of neural networks. Then we improve a typical piecewise linear algorithm called hinging hyperplanes to solve the training problem. Simulation results show that the novel algorithm has a much better approximation effect than the previous algorithm.
