Abstract

Classification trees and neural networks are two popular approaches to pattern recognition problems. Both these approaches are combined in NeuralTree which uses a multilayer perceptron (MLP) at each decision node of binary classification tree to extract nonlinear features. NeuralTree exploits the power of tree classification using appropriate local features obtained by trained neural networks at internal nodes. This approach has been successfully applied to recognize hand-written isolated digits. The proposed method achieves significant decrease in error-rate compared to other classical methods and the size of NeuralTree classifier is also small compared to that of Classification and Regression Tree (CART)
