Abstract:

This monograph includes most of the results to date of our analysis of the geometric ability of linear separation machines. We expect soon to publish the complete work as a book the complete version will contain further results on learning and on some relation between parallel and serial algorithms. Topics include Algebraic Theory--Theory of Boolean linear separation functions, Group theory of linear predicates, Some special predicates, and The And-Or Theorem Geometric Theory--Connectivity and topological properties, Geometric patterns of low order, Normalization and stratification, and The Diameter- limited perceptron and Magnitude of the Coefficients.
