Abstract

A hybrid recurrent neural network is shown to learn smallinitial mealy machines (that can be thought of as translationmachines translating input strings to corresponding output strings,as opposed to recognition automata that classify strings as eithergrammatical or nongrammatical) from positive training samples. Awell-trained neural net is then presented once again with thetraining set and a Kohonen self-organizing map with the "star"topology of neurons is used to quantize recurrent network statespace into distinct regions representing corresponding states of amealy machine being learned. This enables us to extract the learnedmealy machine from the trained recurrent network. One neuralnetwork (Kohonen self-organizing map) is used to extract meaningfulinformation from another network (recurrent neural network).
