Popis: We introduced a Square-law based RBF kernel called SQuare RBF (SQ-RBF) which is computationally efficient and effective due to the elimination of the exponential term. In contrast to the Gaussian RBF, SQ-RBF requires smaller computational operation count and direct implementation without a call to higher order library. The derivative of the SQ-RBF is linear which will improve gradient computation and makes its applicability in multilayer perceptron neural network attractive. In experiments, SQ-RBF lead not only to faster learning but also requires significant low neurons than Gaussian RBF on networks. On an average, we recorded a speed-up in training time of about 8% for SQ-RBF based networks without affecting the overall generalizability of the network. SQ-RBF uses about 10% fewer neurons than Gaussian RBF hence making it very attractive.
