Abstract
- The immune function of living bodies has gained attention in engineering applications in a variety of fields. The authors proposed an immune network based on the immune response and researched its application to pattern recognition. The T<subscript>H</subscript> cell (helper T cell) that recognizes antigens in the immune response possesses diversity in order to fight various antigens and the function called interaction that communicates mutual information for correctly recognizing the antigens. The T<subscript>H</subscript> cell function successfully performs self-defense against unknown antigens. This paper proposes an immune network with the T<subscript>H</subscript> cell function added to an immune network we previously proposed. Specifically, we modeled the interaction and diversity functions of the T<subscript>H</subscript> cell in the matching process between input patterns and memory patterns. The proposed immune network is applied to a pattern recognition system of the alphabet and compared to a conventional method by numerical simulations. The proposed immune network exhibits lower incorrect recognition and rejections, and further improvement in the recognition rate over a conventional immune network by employing the process modeling the T<subscript>H</subscript> cell function. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
