Summary on Grant Application Form
A hierachical (serial/parallel hybrid) multiple expert pattern classifier architecture has been shown to offer high performance in various classification tasks. However, such structures require careful configuration for a specific task or when the pattern environment changes, and this can ve very difficult to accomplish without exhaustive experimentation. This project will investigate the requirements for optimisation within the hierachical structure and will develop both a novel empirical method for self-configuration (based on a constrained evoloutionary model) and a more formal framework which seeks to unify optimisation approaches across many different architectures.
