Abstract :
An approach is presented for handling don´t care attribute values in artificial neural networks (ANNs), based on interpreting the meaning of the don´t care values in the context of the general meaning of the concepts learned by the network. The application of these ideas in the context of a particular ANN formalism (M-RCE networks) is discussed. Several considerations on using these ideas with other ANN formalisms are briefly presented
