Abstract
This chapter describes the design of novel ART-based intelligent systems that are able to learn and, at the same time, to refine their knowledge in perpetuity. Fuzzy ARTMAP and the Probabilistic Neural Network are integrated to form a hybrid system that possesses the desirable properties for incremental, causal learning as well as for Bayesian probability estimation. Subsequently, a multiple neural network architecture is devised to aggregate outputs from several individual networks into a unified decision. A number of algorithms is proposed to increase the generalization and adaptability of the resulting systems.
