C++ Neural Networks and Fuzzy Logic: Preface

Some Neural Network Models

Adaline and Madaline

Adaline is the acronym for adaptive linear element, due to Bernard Widrow and Marcian Hoff. It is similar to

a Perceptron. Inputs are real numbers in the interval [–1,+1], and learning is based on the criterion of

minimizing the average squared error. Adaline has a high capacity to store patterns. Madaline stands for many

Adalines and is a neural network that is widely used. It is composed of field A and field B neurons, and there

is one connection from each field A neuron to each field B neuron. Figure 5.6 shows a diagram of the

Madaline.
