Introduction
 The BP learning algorithm for MLP, may be viewed as the
application of a recursive technique known as stochastic
approximation.
 In This chapter we solve the problem of classifying nonlinearly
separable pattern in a hybrid manner involving two stages:
 First: Transform a given set of nonlinearly separable patterns into a
new set for which, under certain conditions, the likelihood of the
transformed patterns becoming linearly separable is high.
 Second: the solution of the classification problem is completed by
using least-square estimation.

Cover’s Theorem
 Cover’s Theorem on the separability of Patterns:
“A complex pattern-classification problem, cast in a
high-dimensional space nonlinearly, is more likely to be
linearly separable than in a low-dimensional space,
provided that the space is not densely populated.”
(Cover, 1965)

Cover’s Theorem
 Let X denote a set of N patterns (vectors) x1,x2,x3,…,xN; Each of
which is assigned to one of two classes: C1 and C2 .
 This dichotomy (binary partition) of the patterns is separable if
there exist a surface that separates patterns in class C1 from
those in class C2.
 For each pattern x  X define a vector made up of a set of real
valued functions {i(x) |i=1,2,…,m1}, as
T
m )](),...,(),([)( 121 xxxx 
5

Cover’s Theorem
 If the pattern x is a vector in an m0-dimensional input space.
 The vector (x) maps points in m0-dimensional input space
into corresponding points in a new space of dimension m1.
 We refer to i(x) as a hidden function, and the set hidden
function {i(x) |i=1,2,…,m1}, is referred to as the feature space.
6

Cover’s Theorem
 Some Kernel Examples:
Figure 5.1 Three examples of φ-separable
dichotomies of different sets of five points in
two dimensions:
(a) linearly separable dichotomy;
(b) spherically separable dichotomy;
(c) quadrically separable dichotomy.
7

Cover’s Theorem
 To sum up, cover’s theorem on the separability of
patterns encompasses two basic ingredients:
 Nonlinear formulation of the hidden function defined by i(x)
where x is the input vector and i = 1, 2, …, m1.
 High dimensionality of the hidden (feature) space compared
with the input space, where the dimensionality of the hidden
space is determined by the value assigned to m1 (i.e. the
number of hidden units).
8

Cover’s Theorem
 A dichotomy {C1 , C2 } is said to be φ-separable if there exist a m1-
dimensional vector w such that we may write :
 The hyperplane defined by
wT (x) = 0,
defines the separating surface (i.e. the decision boundary)
between the two classes in the -space.
 That is, given a set of patterns X in an input space of arbitrary
dimension m0, we can usually find a nonlinear mapping (x) of high
enough dimension m1 such that we have linear separability in the  -
space.

Key Idea of Kernel Methods
 Key idea: transform xi to a higher dimensional space
 Input space: the space of xi
 Feature space: the “kernel” space of f(xi)

 A kernel, k(x,y), is a similarity measure defined by an implicit mapping f,
from the original space to a vector space (feature space) such that:
k(x,y)=f(x)•f(y).

The XOR Problem Revisited
 Recall that in the XOR problem, there are four patterns
(points), namely, (0,0),(0,1),(1,0),(1,1), in a two
dimensional input space.
 We would like to construct a pattern classifier that
produces the output 0 for the input patterns (0,0),(1,1)
and the output 1 for the input patterns (0,1),(1,0).
13

 We will define a pair of Gaussian hidden functions as follows:

 Using the later pair of
Gaussian hidden
functions, the input
patterns are mapped
onto the φ1- φ2 plane,
and now the input
points can be linearly
separable as required.

The Interpolation Problem
 Consider a feedforward network m0-N-1 architecture. That is, the
network is designed to perform a nonlinear mapping from the input
space to the hidden space followed by a linear mapping from the
hidden space to the output space:
 Where s could be considered as a hypersurface (graph) .
 The learning process of a neural network, which is performed in
training phase and generalization phases, may be viewed as follows:
 The training phase constitute the optimization of a fitting procedure for the
surface , based on known data points presented to the network in the form
of input-output examples (patterns).
 The generalization phase is identical to an interpolation between the data
points, with the interpolation being performed along the constrained surface
generated by the fitting procedure as the optimum approximation of the true
surface .

 The interpolation problem in its strict sense, may be stated as:
 Given a set of N different points and a
corresponding set of real numbers , find a
function , that satisfies the interpolation condition:
 Strict interpolation means that the interpolation surface (i.e., the
function F) is constrained to pass through all the training data
points.
 The radial-basis functions (RBF) technique consists of choosing a
function F that has the form
 Where is a set of N arbitrary (generally
nonlinear) functions, known as radial-bases functions. The known data
points xi are taken to be the centers of the radial-bases functions.

The Radial Basis Function Networks
 Input layer:
 Consists of mo source
nodes (mo is the
dimensionality of x).
 Hidden layer:
 Consists of the same
number of
computational units
as the size of the
training samples.
 Output layer:
 Consists of a single (or
more) computational
unit.
Figure 5.3 Structure of an RBF network,
based on interpolation theory.
20

 A good design practice
is to make the number
of hidden units a
fraction of the number
of samples (K < N).
Figure 5.4 Structure of a practical RBF network. Note that this network is similar
in structure to that of Fig. 5.3.The two networks are different, however, in that the
size of the hidden layer in Fig. 5.4 is smaller than that in Fig. 5.3.
21

 The question now is:
How to train the RBF network?
 In other words, how to find:
 The number and the parameters of hidden units (the basis
functions) using unlabeled data (unsupervised learning).
K-Mean Clustering Algorithm
 The weights between the hidden layer and the output layer.
Recursive Least-Squares Estimation Algorithm
22

K-Mean Clustering Algorithm
 Let be a set of distinct points in Rm , which is to partitioned
into set of K clusters, where K < N.
 Let we have a many-to-one mapper, called the encoder, defined
as:
 Which assign the ith observation xi to the cluster j cluster
according to a rule, yet to be defined
 For example j= i mod 4, maps any number i into four clusters 0,1,2,3.
 To do this encoding,
 we need a similarity measure between every pair of points xi and xi’,
which we denote d(xi ,xi’).
 When d(xi ,xi’) is small enough, each xi and xi’ are assigned to the same
cluster. Otherwise, they should belong to different clusters.

 To optimize the clustering process, we use the following cost
function:
 For a prescribed K, the requirement is to find the encoder C(i)=j
for which the cost function J(C) is minimized.
 If we used the Euclidean distance as a measure of similarity, then
 Which can be written as:
 Where j is the estimates mean vector of cluster j.

iteration involves a two-step optimization:
 First, for a given encoder C (the nearest neighbor rule, say) minimize
the cost function J(C) with respect to the mean vector j
 Second, minimize the encoder C , that is, the inner summation of the
cost function J(C),
