Learning Vector Quantization for Multimodal Data

چکیده
Learning vector quantization (LVQ) as proposed by Kohonen is a simple and intuitive, though very successful prototype-based clustering algorithm. Generalized relevance LVQ (GRLVQ) constitutes a modification which obeys the dynamics of a gradient descent and allows an adaptive metric utilizing relevance factors for the input dimensions. As iterative algorithms with local learning rules, LVQ and modifications crucially depend on the initialization of the prototypes. They often fail for multimodal data. We propose a variant of GRLVQ which introduces ideas of the neural gas algorithm incorporating a global neighborhood coordination of the prototypes. The resulting learning algorithm, supervised relevance neural gas, is capable of learning highly multimodal data, whereby it shares the benefits of a gradient dynamics and an adaptive metric with GRLVQ.

Supervised Neural Gas for Learning Vector Quantization
In this contribution we combine approaches the generalized leraning vector quantization (GLVQ) with the neighborhood orientented learning in the neural gas network (NG). In this way we obtain a supervised version of the NG what we call supervised NG (SNG). We show that the SNG is more robust than the GLVQ because the neighborhood learning avoids numerically instabilities as it may occur for com...

متن کاملThe Time Adaptive Self Organizing Map for Distribution Estimation
The feature map represented by the set of weight vectors of the basic SOM (Self-Organizing Map) provides a good approximation to the input space from which the sample vectors come. But the timedecreasing learning rate and neighborhood function of the basic SOM algorithm reduce its capability to adapt weights for a varied environment. In dealing with non-stationary input distributions and changi...
