Nonlinear signal processing with self-organizing neural networks
The application of self-organizing neural networks in processing nonlinear dynamic signals directly is investigated. The processing of a signal uses a model-based approach. The signal generating system is modeled by decomposing it into simpler subsystems and each subsystems is associated with a neuron on a single-layer network. Each subsystem is implemented using a temporally local linear combiner. The network is trained with a self-organizing procedure and the parameters of the linear combiners are updated by using the Widrow-Hoff adaptive rule. A competitive rule which takes into consideration the temporal dependence among the signal samples is presented. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the method.<<ETX>>
