Class Mean Vectors, Self Monitoring and Self Learning for Neural Classifiers

Abstract

In this paper we explore the role of sample mean in building a neural network for classification. This role is surprisingly extensive and includes: direct computation of weights without training, performance monitoring for samples without known classification, and self-training for unlabeled data. Experimental computation on a CIFAR-10 data set provides promising empirical evidence on the efficacy of a simple and widely applicable approach to some difficult problems.
