Summary:
Immune system protects living body from an extraordinarily large variety of bacteria, viruses, and other pathogenic organisms. Based on immunological principles, new computational techniques are being developed, aiming not only at a better understanding of the system, but also at solving engineering problems. Our overall goal for this paper is twofold: to understand the real immune system from the information processing perspective, and to use idea generated from the immune system to construct new engineering application. As one example of the latter, we propose an artificial immune system architecture inspired by the human immune system and apply it to pattern recognition. We test the proposed architecture by the simulations on arbitrary sequences of analog input pattern classification and binary input pattern recognition. The simulation results illustrate that the proposed architecture is effective at clustering arbitrary sequences of analog input patterns into stable categories and it can produce stronger noise immunity than the binary network .
