Bagging and Bumping Self Organising Maps
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we apply the combination method of bagging which has been developed in the context of supervised learning of classifiers and regressors to the unsupervised artificial neural network known as the Self Organising Map. We show that various initialisation techniques can be used to create maps which are comparable by humans by eye. We then use a semi-supervised version of the SOM to classify data sets and show how bagging may be used to improve classification. We then compare bumping and bagging on this data set.

On Document Classification with Self-Organising Maps
This research deals with the use of self-organising maps for the classification of text documents. The aim was to classify documents to separate classes according to their topics. We therefore constructed self-organising maps that were effective for this task and tested them with German newspaper documents. We compared the results gained to those of k nearest neighbour searching and k-means clu...
متن کاملUnsupervised multimodal processing
We present two separate algorithms for unsupervised multimodal processing. Our first proposal, the singlepass Hebbian linked self-organising map network, significantly reduces the training of Hebbian-linked selforganising maps by computing in a single epoch the weights of the links associating the separate modal maps. Our second proposal, based on the counterpropagation network algorithm, imple...

The purpose is to analyse the quarterly financial performance of telecommunications companies with the help self-organising maps. In this report the three major actors on the telecommunications market is evaluated and benchmarked on the basis of seven key ratios, calculated for seven consecutive quarters between the first quarter of year 2000 to the third quarter of year 2001. To conduct benchm...
متن کاملSky-Metaphor Visualisation for Self-Organising Maps
Self-Organising Maps are utilised in many data mining and knowledge management applications. Although various visualisations have been proposed for SOM, these techniques lack in distinguishing between the items mapped to the same unit. Here we present a novel technique for the visualisation of Self-Organising Maps that displays inputs not in the centre of the map units, but shifts them towards ...
متن کاملLocation Recognition in a Mobile Robot Using Self-organising Feature Maps 1
Self-organising structures are a dominant feature of the experimental mobile robots built in our \Really Useful Robots" project. This paper continues where Nehmzow & Smithers 90] nished. It explains some initial experiments using self-organising feature maps, and how those maps can be used by a mobile robot to recognise locations in its environment. This location recognition capability is achie...
