Neural Tree Network Based Electronic Nose

The training of a multi-layer perceptron using the well known back-propagation algorithm usually requires a priori knowledge of the network architecture. In this paper, results are presented on two practical classification problems which use neural tree classifiers to determine automatically the optimal number of neurons required. The data-set comes from the response of the Warwick Electronic Nose to a set of simple and complex odours.
