This work has explored the relationship between input representation and extrapolation, using simulations of multi-layer perceptrons trained to model the identity function. It has been discovered that representation has a marked effect on extrapolation. date: 2001-10 date_type: published refereed: TRUE citation: Browne, Antony (2001) Representation and Extrapolation in Multi-Layer Perceptrons.
