1. A neural network system comprising:

  • a plurality of processing nodes arranged into at least first and second layers;

    input means adapted for receiving an input signal comprising data representative of an input pattern;

    first communication means for communicating at least a portion of the input signal to at least a first portion of the processing nodes of the first layer;

    transformation means for performing a non-linear transform on a signal input thereto to form a transformed signal as an output thereof;

    second communication means for communicating at least a portion of the input pattern to the transformation means;

    third communication means for communicating the transformed signal resultant from operation of the transform means to at least a second portion of the processing nodes of the first layer uniquely defined from the processing nodes of the first portion;

    fourth communication means for communicating the output of processing nodes of the first portion and of the second portion of the first layer to at least a first portion of the processing nodes of the second layer; and

    means for outputting the output signal from the processing nodes of the second layer.
