The neural network art which uses the Hamming distance to measure an image similarity score

This study reports a new discrete neural network of Adaptive Resonance Theory (ART-1H) in which the Hamming distance is used for the first time to estimate the measure of binary images (vectors) proximity. For the development of a new neural network of adaptive resonance theory, architectures and operational algorithms of discrete neural networks ART-1 and discrete Hamming neural networks are used. Unlike the discrete neural network adaptive resonance theory ART-1 in which the similarity parameter which takes into account single images components only is used as a measure of images (vectors) proximity in the new network in the Hamming distance all the components of black and white images are taken into account. In contrast to the Hamming network, the new network allows the formation of typical vector classes representatives in the learning process not using information from the teacher which is not always reliable. New neural network can combine the advantages of the Hamming neural network and ART-1 by setting a part of source information in the form of reference images (distinctive feature and advantage of the Hamming neural network) and obtaining some of typical image classes representatives using learning algorithms of the neural network ART-1 (the dignity of the neural network ART-1). The architecture and functional algorithms of the new neural network ART which has the properties of both neural network ART-1 and the Hamming network were proposed and investigated. The network can use three methods to get information about typical image classes representatives: teacher information, neural network learning process, third method uses a combination of first two methods. Property of neural network ART-1 and ART-1H, related to the dependence of network learning outcomes or classification of input information to the order of the vectors (images) can be considered not as a disadvantage of the networks but as a virtue. This property allows to receive various types of input information classification which cannot be obtained using other neural networks
