A Neural-Network-Based Approach to Detecting Hyperellipsoidal Shells

摘要

This paper presents a novel class of neural networks which can be trained in an unsupervised manner to detect a mixture of hyperellipsoidal shells and/or segments of hyperellipsoidal shells. This approach is computationally and implementationally simpler than other clustering algorithms that have been suggested for this purpose. Experimental results on several data sets are presented.
