Learning system and a learning pattern showing method for a neural

Abstract

A neural network learning system using back propagation and a method of learning pattern showing are disclosed. In the case where a supervised signal contains an error or a pattern difficult to learn, the error is detected and the particular pattern is automatically removed during calculations of learning iterations to conduct rightly and accelerate the learning. The learning history for each pattern is stored to detect inconsistent and difficult-to-learn patterns, which are prevented from being shown to the network by a pattern showing control during the next learning iteration. As a result, an inconsistent or difficult-to-learn pattern which may be contained in a learning pattern set of input and supervised patterns is removed during learning iterations thereby to permit early completion of the learning process.
