This paper aims at developing techniqus for design and implementation of neural classifiers. Based on our previous study on generalized RBF neural network architecture and learning criterion function for parameter optimization, this work addresses two realization issues, i.e. supervised input features selection and genetic computation techniques for tuning classifiers. A comparative study on classifiation performance is carried on by a set of protein sequence data.

In this paper, a Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH)-type neural network algorithm with radial basis functions (RBF) is proposed. The proposed algorithm generates optimum RBF network architectures fitting the complexity of nonlinear systems using heuristic self-organization. The number of hidden layers, the number of neurons in hidden layers and relevant input variables are selected by minimizing prediction error defined as Akaike’s Information Criterion (AIC). Various nonlinear combinations of variables are initially generated in each layer and only relevant combinations are selected based on AIC. Hence, the optimum RBF network architecture fitting the complexity of the nonlinear system is obtained. We apply the GMDH-type neural network algorithm with RBF to 3-dimensional medical image recognition of the liver, showing that this algorithm is very easy and useful in 3-dimensional medical image recognition of the liver because the neural network architecture is automatically organized to minimize prediction error based on AIC.

Abstract The argument against innatism at the heart of Cognitive Gadgets is provocative but premature, and is vitiated by dichotomous thinking, interpretive double standards, and evidence cherry-picking. I illustrate my criticism by addressing the heritability of imitation and mindreading, the relevance of twin studies, and the meaning of cross-cultural differences in theory of mind development. Reaching an integrative understanding of genetic inheritance, plasticity, and learning is a formidable task that demands a more nuanced evolutionary approach.
