Neural Directors

Abstract

A neural director is provided which is a neural network constructed with weights that are determined a priori. The neural director receives an input vector X comprising "I" input components "X(sub i)" and generates in response an output vector Y comprising "J" output components. The neural director has an input processing node layer which receives the input vector X and an output processing node layer which generates the output vector Y. The connections between the input and output processing node layers are a unique weighting set w(i,j) that contains an internal representation of a uniform spatial distribution of "J" unit vectors throughout a unit sphere of "I" dimensions. Thus the cosine value between any two adjacent unit vectors is a constant everywhere in the unit sphere.
