A new constructive learning algorithm, called Hamming Clustering (HC), for binary neural networks is proposed. It is able to generate a set of rules in if-then form underlying an unknown classification problem starting from a training set of samples. The performance of HC has been evaluated through a variety of artificial and realworld benchmarks.

Abstract
A new constructive learning algorithm, called Hamming Clustering (HC), for binary neural networks is proposed. It is able to generate a set of rules in if-then form underlying an unknown classification problem starting from a training set of samples. The performance of HC has been evaluated through a variety of artificial and realworld benchmarks. In particular, its application in the diagnosis of breast cancer has led to the derivation of a reduced set of rules solving the associated classification problem.File in questo prodotto:
