A Unifying Objective Function for Topographic Mappings
Many different algorithms and objective functions for topographic mappings have been proposed. We show that several of these approaches can be seen as particular cases of a more general objective function. Consideration of a very simple mapping problem reveals large differences in the form of the map that each particular case favors. These differences have important consequences for the practic...
متن کاملA unifying measure for neighbourhood preservation in topographic mappings
In this paper, the abstract computational principles underlying topographic maps are discussed. We give a definition of a “perfectly neighbourhood preserving” map, which we call a topographic homeomorphism, and we prove that this has certain desirable properties. It is argued that when a topographic homeomorphism does not exist (the usual case), many equally valid choices are available for quan...
متن کاملA Novel Objective Function for Directional Overcurrent Relays Coordination
Directional overcurrent relays (DOCRs) are widely used to protect power systems. For optimal coordination of DOCRs, several techniques have been proposed to solve this problem. A common way of optimal coordination of DOCRs is using evolutionary algorithms such as genetic algorithm (GA). In this paper, a novel strategy for DOCRs coordination is proposed. In the proposed strategy, a new objective...
متن کاملWeighted differential topographic function: a refinement of topographic function
Topology preservation of Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs) is an advantageous property for correct clustering. Among several existing measures of topology violation, this paper studies the Topographic Function (TF) [1]. We find that this measuring method, demonstrated for low-dimensional data in [1], has a reliable foundation in its distance metric for the interpretation of the neighborhood relations...
متن کاملQuantifying neighbourhood preservation in topographic mappings
Mappings that preserve neighbourhood relationships are relevant in bothpractical and biological contexts. It is important to be clear about precisely what preserving neighbourhoods could mean. We give a definition of a “perfectly neighbourhood preserving” map, which we call a topographic homeomorphism, and prove that this has certain desirable properties. When a topographic homeomorphism does n...
