1. A clustered neural network architecture comprising:

  • (A) a plurality of individual neural networks, each neural network having an input and an output, wherein each of the inputs are connected in common, and each neural network comprising;

    (a) means for receiving initial weights that are different from initial weights of others of the plurality of neural networks;

    (b) means for training the neural network to implement a mapping function using the received initial weights, the mapping function being the same for all of the plurality of neural networks; and

    (c) means for performing the mapping function in a different way than the other networks of the plurality of neural networks; and

    (B) an output neural network having a plurality of inputs and a single output that provides an output of the clustered neural network, and wherein the respective outputs of the plurality of individual neural networks are individually coupled to the respective plurality of inputs of the output neural network.
