Abstract

Classification method implemented in a layered neural network, comprising learning steps during which at least one layer is constructed by the addition of the successive neurons necessary for operating, by successive dichotomies, a classification of examples distributed over classes. In order to create at least one layer starting with a group of examples distributed over more than two classes, each successive neuron tends to distinguish its input data according to two predetermined sub-groups of classes peculiar to the said neuron according to a principal components analysis of the distribution of the said input data subjected to the learning of the neuron of the layer in question.
