Abstract

In this paper, we propose modular network to solve difficult and complex problems that are seldom solved with Multi-Layer Neural Network(MLNN). The structure of Modular Neural Network(MNN) in researched by Jacobs and jordan is selected in this paper. Modular network consists of several Expert Networks(EN) and a Gating Network(CN) which is composed of single-layer neural network(SLNN) or multi-layer neural network. We propose modular network structure using Recurrent Neural Network(RNN), since the state of the whole network at a particular time depends on aggregate of previous states as well as on the current input. Finally, we show excellence of the proposed network compared with modular network.
