Summary

Classifying the Unknown: The T-cell Recruitment Mechanism of the Immune System as a Paradigm for Pattern Recognition. Mario Köppen, Martin Stellmacher, Lutz Lohmann and Bertram Nickolay. In Proceedings 2nd ICSC Symposium on Neural Computation (NC2000?), pages 807-812, 2000.

Abstract

The immune system of animals is considered an adaptive system, capable of solving a classification task: to distinguish microorganisms, which take part in the body metabolism, into self and non-self ones. Recent research results of immunobiologists, esp. the discovery of the Major histocompatibility complex (MHC), are discussed from an information theoretic point of view. One of the most interesting aspects is the training of a two-class problem by the only provision of examples of one class. By adopting the basic processes, which maintain the organisation of the immune system, new algorithm esp. for pattern recognition can be designed. As an example, a framework is proposed for character separation of melted char images, what is an important problem in optical character recognition.
