1. A pattern mapping system comprising:
- an input layer for presenting an input pattern;
a working layer of working nodes connected to the input layer for receiving the input pattern and generating activation signals in accordance with predefined training parameters, and (b) statistical signals associated with each activation signal;
an output layer of output nodes coupled to the working layer for providing from the activation signals an output pattern indicative of the input pattern; and
a node assembly coupled to the working layer for receiving the statistical signals and in response to the statistical signals providing an indication of reliability of the output pattern as a function of the predefined training parameters.

Abstract
A pattern mapping system provides indication of reliability of pattern or category selection indicated by output nodes. The indication of reliability includes a quantitative indication of error in the output and an indication when training is insufficient for the system to respond to the input pattern accurately. The error indication is based on error in the outputs produced by the system as trained in response to given inputs, and accuracy of fit of training data to the output. The insufficiency of the mapping system as trained is determined according to training data density local to the subject input pattern.
