In this paper, we view equalization as a multi-class classification problem and use neural networks to detect binary signals in the presence of noise and interference. In particular, we compare the performance of a recently published training algorithm, a multi-gradient, with that of the conventional back-propagation. Then, we apply a feature extraction to obtain more efficient neural networks. Experiments show that neural network equalizers which view equalization as multi-class problems provide significantly improved performance compared to the conventional LMS algorithm while the decision boundary feature extraction method significantly reduces the complexity of the network.
