چکیده

We propose a new scheme for enlarging generalized learning vector quantization (GLVQ) with weighting factors for the input dimensions. The factors allow an appropriate scaling of the input dimensions according to their relevance. They are adapted automatically during training according to the specific classification task whereby training can be interpreted as stochastic gradient descent on an appropriate error function. This method leads to a more powerful classifier and to an adaptive metric with little extra cost compared to standard GLVQ. Moreover, the size of the weighting factors indicates the relevance of the input dimensions. This proposes a scheme for automatically pruning irrelevant input dimensions. The algorithm is verified on artificial data sets and the iris data from the UCI repository. Afterwards, the method is compared to several well known algorithms which determine the intrinsic data dimension on real world satellite image data.

Generalized functional relevance learning vector quantization

Generalized learning vector quantization (GRLVQ) is a prototype based classification algorithm with metric adaptation weighting each data dimensions according to their relevance for the classification task. We present in this paper an extension for functional data, which are usually very high dimensional. This approach supposes the data vectors have to be functional representations. Taking into...

Generalized Learning Graph Quantization

This contribution extends generalized LVQ, generalized relevance LVQ, and robust soft LVQ to the graph domain. The proposed approaches are based on the basic learning graph quantization (lgq) algorithm using the orbifold framework. Experiments on three data sets show that the proposed approaches outperform lgq and lgq2.1.

Classification of Boar Sperm Head Images using Learning Vector Quantization

We apply Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) in automated boar semen quality assessment. The classification of single boar sperm heads into healthy (normal) and non-normal ones is based on grey-scale microscopic images only. Sample data was classified by veterinary experts and is used for training a system with a number of prototypes for each class. We apply as training schemes Kohonen’s LVQ1 an...
