Standard shared-weight neural networks previously demonstrated inferior performance to that of morphological shared-weight neural networks for automatic target detection. Empirical analysis showed that entropy measures of the features generated by the standard shared-weight neural networks were consistently lower than those generated by the morphological shared-weight neural networks. Based on this observation, an entropy maximization term was added to the standard shared-weight network objective function. In this paper, we present automatic target detection results for standard shared-weight neural networks trained with and without the added entropy term.
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.
