Abstract

A novel artificial neural network with one hidden layer of nodes, whose basis functions are drawn from a family of orthonormal wavelets, is developed in this paper. Wavelet Networks or Wave-Nets are based on firm theoretical foundations of functional analysis. The good localization characteristics of the basis functions, both in the input and frequency domains, allow hierarchical, multi-resolution learning of input-output maps from experimental data. Furthermore, Wave-Nets allow explicit estimation of global and local prediction error-bounds, and thus lend themselves to a rigorous and transparent design of the network. Computational complexity arguments prove that the training and adaptation efficiency of Wave-Nets is at least an order of magnitude better than other networks. This paper presents the mathematical framework for the development of Wave-Nets and discusses various aspects of their practical implementation. The problem of predicting a chaotic time-series is solved as an illustrative example.
