Abstract

The recent proliferation of neural network models for pattern recognition and other applications has led to a need for benchmarking and a comparative study of such models in order to assist in the development of new models more pertinent to such specific applications. This paper presents a comparative study of the following three important types of neural network models: (i) the Bidirectional Associative Memory (BAM), (ii) the Back Propagation (BP), and (iii) the Adaptive Resonance Theory (ART). The models have been analyzed to establish their efficiency, accuracy, and adaptability. Simulation of a unified computer implementation of the models (the same language, the same computer, and the same benchmark) can reveal the essential differences in the performance of the models, rather than the differences due to their implementations.
