Abstract
A system is disclosed for separating and identifying classes of patterns or events which are not necessarily linearly separable. The patterns are represented by an input signal S. The system comprises (1) a plurality of classification units, connected in parallel to receive the input signal S and (2) a class selection device, responsive to the output signals produced by the classification units, for producing a single output response R representing the class of each respective pattern. At least some of the pattern classification units include generalizer units having a memory for storing a number of generalizer "prototypes" and a comparator for comparing the vector location of an input pattern with each of the generalizer prototypes.
