In this paper, we analyzed and compared the performances of modular FFMLP(feedforward multilayer perceptron) and SVUT(Support Vector Machine) for the large-set classification problems. Overall, SVM dominated modular FFMLP in the correct recognition rate and other aspects Additionally, the recognition rate of SVM degraded more slowly than neural network as the number of classes increases. The trend of the recognition rates depending on the rejection rate has been analyzed. The parameter set of SVM(kernel functions and related variables) has been identified for the large-set classification problems.

Theoretically, a multi-layered feedforward network has been known to be able to approximate a continuous function to an arbitrary degree of accuracy. However, these networks fail to approximate discontinuous functions when they are trained by well-known training algorithms. This paper presents a training algorithm which doesn't work consists of one or more modules, which are trained in a sequential order within subspaces of the input space, and is trained very rapidely once all modules are trained and merged. The experimantal results of applying this method indicates the proposed training algorithm is superior to traditional ones such as baskpagation.
