New encoding method enables MLPs to extrapolate periodic functions

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have introduced Normalized Base-2 Encoding (NB2E), a novel method for representing continuous numerical values. When applied to vanilla multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs), NB2E enables these networks to successfully extrapolate four periodic waveforms without prior knowledge of their functional form. This approach demonstrates superior accuracy compared to fixed Fourier encoding, particularly in scenarios where the number of signal cycles deviates from even integers, though its effectiveness is currently limited to specific MLP architectures and single-dimensional signals.
