A classification function maps a set of vectors into several classes. A machine learning problem is treated as a design problem for partially defined classification functions. To realize classification functions for MNIST hand written digits, three different architectures are considered: Single-unit realization, 45-unit realization, and 45-unit ×r realization. The 45-unit realization consists of 45 ternary classifiers, 10 counters, and a max selector. Test accuracy of these architectures are compared using MNIST data set.
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.
