The methods are based on a Boolean approximation of real-valued data. This approximation is used to construct an initial neural network topology which is subsequently trained on the original (real-valued) data. The methods are evaluated for their effectiveness in reducing the network size and increasing the network's generalization capabilities in comparison to fully connected high order perceptrons.}, ipdmembership={learning}, }
