Data error detection method, apparatus, software, and medium
First Claim
1. A data error detection method for a database containing at least two kinds of data and in which one kind of data can be classified by another kind of data. The detection method consists of the following steps:
- treating the classification as a class in a neural network;
dividing the classification problem into smaller two-class problems for a plurality of modules;
making calculations to check whether or not each of the said modules converges in the learning process in the neural network; and
, regarding said module having pattern classification errors in the case of convergence failure, extracting it.

Abstract
The aim of this invention is to provide a fast, highly efficient, and highly accurate data error detection method for a database that includes at least two types of data and in which one type of data can be classified by another type of data. The classification in the database is regarded as a class in a neural network. The original classification problem is divided into smaller two-class subproblems to provide a number of modules, and calculation is made to check whether or not each of the said module converges in the learning process in the neural network. If a module does not converge, the module is regarded as having pattern classification errors and is then extracted.
