Associative Self-organizing Map

چکیده
We present a study of a novel variant of the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) called the Associative SelfOrganizing Map (A-SOM). The A-SOM is similar to the SOM and thus develops a representation of its input space, but in addition it also learns to associate its activity with the activity of one or several external SOMs. The A-SOM has relevance in e.g. the modelling of expectations in one modality due to the activity invoked in another modality, and in the modelling of the neuroscientific simulation hypothesis. The paper presents the algorithm generalized to an arbitrary number of associated activities together with simulation results to find out about its performance and its ability to generalize to new inputs that it has not been trained on. The simulation results were very encouraging and confirmed the ability of the A-SOM to learn to associate the representations of its input space with the representations of the input spaces developed in two connected SOMs. Good generalization ability was also demonstrated.

Autonomous Perceptual Feature Extraction in a Topology-Constrained Architecture
In this paper, it is shown that the Feature-Extracting Bidirectional Associative Memory (FEBAM) can encompass competitive model features based on winner-take-all, kwinners-take-all and self-organizing feature map properties. The modified model achieves perceptual multidimensional feature extraction, cluster-based category formation through simultaneous creation of prototype/exemplar memories, a...
متن کاملKohonen Feature Map Associative Memory with Area Representation
In this paper, we propose a Kohonen feature map associative memory with area representation for sequential patterns. This model is based on the Kohonen feature map associative memory with area representation and the Kohonen feature map associative memory for temporal sequences. The proposed model can learn sequential patterns successively, and has robustness for damaged neurons. We carried out ...
متن کاملSimulating Actions with the Associative Self-Organizing Map
We present a system that can learn to represent actions as well as to internally simulate the likely continuation of their initial parts. The method we propose is based on the Associative Self Organizing Map (A-SOM), a variant of the Self Organizing Map. By emulating the way the human brain is thought to perform pattern recognition tasks, the ASOM learns to associate its activity with different...
متن کاملA New Hybrid Model for Associative Reinforcement Learning
In this paper, a new model, addressing the Associative Reinforcement Learning (ARL) problem, based on learning automata and self organizing map is proposed. The model consists of two layers. The First layer comprised of a SOM which is utilized to quantize the state (context) space and the second layer contains of a team of learning automata which is used to select an optimal action in each stat...
متن کاملAutomatic segmentation, learning and retrieval of melodies using a self-organizing neural network
We introduce a neural network, known as SONNETMAP, capable of automatic segmentation, learning and retrieval of melodies. SONNET-MAP is a synthesis of the SONNET (Self-Organizing Neural NETwork) architecture (Nigrin, 1993) and an associative map derived from ARTMAP (Carpenter, Grossberg, and Reynolds, 1991). SONNET-MAP automatically segments a melody based on pitch and rhythmic grouping cues. S...
