Abstract

The neocognitron, which is proposed based on the model of biological vision, has been acclaimed as a shift and distortion tolerant character recognition system. Unfortunately, studies show that the performance of the neocognitron is affected greatly by the value of its selectivity. The neocognitron has a poor recognition rate if the value of selective is not reasonable. A genetic algorithm based method for adjusting necognitron selectivity is proposed. By using the proposed method, the responses of 5-plane are uniform. The proposed method is tested on 10 digits, and the simulation results show that it is capable of improving the recognition rate of neocognitron.
