Abstract

Most of the pattern recognition applications of multilayer neural networks have been concerned with classification and not rejection of a given pattern. For example, in character recognition all alphabetical characters must be recognized as one of the 26 characters, as there is nothing to reject. However, in many situations, there is no guarantee that all the patterns that will be presented to the network would actually belong to one of the classes on which the network has been trained. In such cases, a useful network must be capable of rejection as well as classification. In this paper we propose a scheme to develop multilayer networks with rejection capabilities. The discriminating power of the proposed technique appears to be comparable to that of the human eye.
