Reverse TDNN: An Architecture For Trajectory Generation

The backpropagation algorithm can be used for both recognition and gen(cid:173) eration of time trajectories. When used as a recognizer, it has been shown that the performance of a network can be greatly improved by adding structure to the architecture. The same is true in trajectory generation. In particular a new architecture corresponding to a "reversed" TDNN is proposed. Results show dramatic improvement of performance in the gen(cid:173) eration of hand-written characters.
