Abstract
This paper presents a new model of an artificial neural network solving classification problems — Local Transfer Function Classifier (LTF-C). Its structure is very similar to this of the Radial Basis Function neural network (RBF), however it utilizes entirely different learning algorithms, including not only changing positions and sizes of neuron reception fields, but also inserting and removing neurons during the training. Applying this network to practical tasks, such as handwritten digit recognition, shows, that it is characterized by high accuracy, small size and high speed of functioning.
