Reduced polynomial neural swarm net for classification task in data mining

—In this paper, we proposed a reduced polynomial neural swarm net (RPNSN) for the task of classification. Classification task is one of the most studied tasks of data mining. In solving classification task of data mining, the classical algorithm such as Polynomial Neural Network (PNN) takes large computation time because the network grows over the training period (i.e. the partial descriptions (PDs) in each layer grows in successive generations). Unlike PNN our proposed network needs to generate the partial description for a single layer. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique is used to select a relevant set of PDs as well as features, which are then fed to the output layer of our proposed net which contain only one neuron. The selection mechanism used here is a kind of wrapper approach. Performance of this model is compared with the results obtained from PNN. Simulation result shows that the performance of RPNSN is encouraging for harnessing its power in data mining area and a...
