Figure 5 Average efficiency for the three different classification methods with 1 o tolerance versus the size of the training set. These are learning techniques for object recognition and catego- rization and, therefore, they should be further compared with classic methodologies capable to solve similar problems. Consequently, a single SVM classifier was used as a reference against the HTM learn- ing framework applied to the same configuration of the dataset. The only modification was a dimensionality reduction of the dataset, uti- lizing principal component analysis (PCA). The resulting dimensions retained more than 95% of the initial information, simplifying the
