Orthonormal Basis Lattice Neural Networks

Summary. Lattice based neural networks are capable of resolving some difficult non-linear problems and have been successfully employed to solve real-world problems. In this chapter a novel model of a lattice neural network (LNN) is presented. This new model generalizes the standard basis lattice neural network (SB-LNN) based on dendritic computing. In particular, we show how each neural dendrite can work on a different orthonormal basis than the other dendrites. We present experimental results that demonstrate superior learning performance of the new Orthonormal Basis Lattice Neural Network (OB-LNN) over SB-LNNs.
