Abstract
A signature recognition apparatus reduces the volume of training data needed and shortens the learning period. In the apparatus, a sample generating section generates sample data. A coupling load coefficient is determined based on the sample data, thereby obviating the need for additional sample data. The apparatus also uses a fuzzy net which implements a linear function in its output layer to shorten the learning period relative to the learning period required for a net implementing a non-linear function such as a sigmoid.
