   • 1995, Rohwer, R.J., Fourth International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks: Two Bayesian treatments of the n-tuple recognition method, Aston Univ., Birmingham :

     Two probabilistic interpretations of the n-tuple recognition method are put forward in order to allow this technique to be analysed with the same Bayesian methods used in connection with other neural network models.

   • 1998, S.M. Lucas, Vision, Image and Signal Processing, IEE Proceedings: Continuous n-tuple classifier and its application to real-time face recognition‎, Dept. of Electron. Syst. Eng., Essex Univ., Colchester:

     The continuous n-tuple classifier was proposed by the author as a new type of n-tuple classifier that is ideally suited to problems where the input is continuous or multi-level rather than binary.
