Abstract

The interpretation of surface electromagnetic ellipticity measurements is treated as a pattern recognition problem vis a vis an inverse problem. A parallel distributed processing or neural network approach is used for the pattern recognition. A feed forward, backpropagation network is trained to recognize the spatial location of an anomaly given ellipticity patterns from 20 theoretical models. The network has demonstrated an ability to form abstractions and generalizations when presented with ellipticity patterns that are not part of the training set.
