RBF Neural Network Implementation for IRIS Dataset Classification Example

Resource Overview

A practical demonstration of RBF neural network implementation using the IRIS dataset for multi-class classification

Detailed Documentation

In this example, we implement a Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural network to process the IRIS dataset. The RBF neural network is a powerful machine learning model that performs classification by learning similarity patterns between samples. The IRIS dataset, a widely-used benchmark in machine learning, contains measurement data for three different species of iris flowers. Our implementation will involve preprocessing the dataset, configuring RBF network parameters, and training the model to classify flower measurements and predict iris species types. The example demonstrates key implementation aspects including data normalization, RBF center selection using clustering algorithms, and network training through gradient descent optimization. This practical approach helps illustrate the working principles and real-world applications of RBF neural networks for pattern recognition tasks.
