Abstract

In view of many applications, in recent years, there has been increasing interest in complex valued neural networks. In this paper, it is reasoned that transforming real valued signals into complex valued signals (using Discrete Fourier Transform) and processing them in that domain is equivalent to processing real valued signals. This approach could have many advantages. Also neural networks based on a novel model of neuron are proposed. Some interesting open questions are proposed.
