1. A classification neural network for classifying input patterns, said classification neural network comprising: an input node for receiving said input patterns; a plurality of nodes connected to said input node for transforming said input patterns to localized domains defined by each node; a minimum node connected to said plurality of nodes for identifying a transforming node from said plurality of nodes; a plurality of perceptron nodes, each said perceptron node connected to a corresponding node from said plurality of nodes for producing class designators, wherein said transforming node transmits a signal to its corresponding perceptron node for producing a class designator; and an output node connected to said plurality of perceptron nodes for receiving said class designators from said plurality of perceptron nodes.
