Abstract
Typically the response of a multilayered perceptron (MLP) network on points which are far away from the boundary of its training data is not very reliable. When test data points are far away from the boundary of its training data, the network should not make any decision on these points. We propose a training scheme for MLPs which tries to achieve this. Our methodology trains a composite network consisting of two subnetworks : a mapping network and a vigilance network. The mapping network learns the usual input-output relation present in the data and the vigilance network learns a decision boundary and decides on which points the mapping network should respond. Though here we propose the methodology for multilayered perceptrons, the philosophy is quite general and can be used with other learning machines also.
