In this paper Pruned Fuzzy Hypersphere Neural Network (PFHSNN) is proposed which is an extension of Fuzzy Hypersphere Neural Network (FHSNN). A pruning procedure is incorporated into FHSNN after its leaning phase to reduce the network size. The experimental results for JSRT database show that PFHSNN is considerably superior in terms of training and recall time. It yields 91.66% recognition rate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
