Geometric Algebra Based Neural Networks

  • Chapter
Dealing with Complexity

Abstract

In the last period there were introduced some new types of neural networks based on a more general type of algebra. They obey the multidimensional neural activities compared to the one-dimensional neural activity within the standard neural network framework. Instead of using basically the product of two scalar values they utilise some special algebraic product of two multidimensional quantities. Most of them can be considered as a special type of geometric (Clifford) algebra [1], [2] based neural networks (GANNs).
