New Geometrical Perspective of Fuzzy ART and Fuzzy ARTMAP Learning

چکیده
In this paper we introduce new useful, geometric concepts regarding categories in Fuzzy ART and Fuzzy ARTMAP, which shed more light into the process of category competition eligibility upon the presentation of input patterns. First, we reformulate the competition of committed nodes with uncommitted nodes in an F2 layer as a commitment test very similar to the vigilance test. Next, we introduce a category’s match and choice regions, which are the geometric interpretation of the vigilance and commitment test respectively. After examining properties of these regions we reach three results applicable to both Fuzzy ART and Fuzzy ARTMAP. More specifically, we show that only one out of these two tests is required; which test needs to be performed depends on the values of the vigilance parameter ρ and the choice parameter a. Also, we show that for a specific relation of ρ and a, the vigilance ρ does not influence the training or performance phase of Fuzzy ART and Fuzzy ARTMAP. Finally, we refine a previously published upper bound on the size of categories created during training in Fuzzy ART and Fuzzy ARTMAP.

Category regions as new geometrical concepts in Fuzzy-ART and Fuzzy-ARTMAP
In this paper we introduce novel geometric concepts, namely category regions, in the original framework of Fuzzy-ART (FA) and Fuzzy-ARTMAP (FAM). The definitions of these regions are based on geometric interpretations of the vigilance test and the F2 layer competition of committed nodes with uncommitted ones, that we call commitment test. It turns out that not only these regions have the same g...
متن کاملA New Approach to Simplified Fuzzy ARTMAP
A fuzzy ARTMAP system is a system for incremental supervised learning of recognition categories and multidimensional maps in response to arbitrary sequence of analog or binary input vectors. The original fuzzy ARTMAP system incorporates two fuzzy ART modules and an inter-ART module. Many different approaches have been proposed to modify fuzzy ARTMAP systems. In this paper, we proposed a new app...
متن کاملHypersphere ART and ARTMAP for Unsupervised and Supervised, Incremental Learning
A novel adaptive resonance theory (ART) neural network architecture is being proposed. The new model, called Hypersphere ART (H-ART) is based on the same principals like Fuzzy-ART does and, thus, inherits most of its qualities for unsupervised learning. Among these properties is fast, stable, incremental learning on the training set and good generalization on the testing set. While H-ART is int...

In this paper, several modifications to the Fuzzy ARTMAP neural network architecture are proposed for conducting classification in complex, possibly noisy, environments. The goal of these modifications is to improve upon the generalization performance of Fuzzy ART-based neural networks, such as Fuzzy ARTMAP, in these situations. One of the major difficulties of employing Fuzzy ARTMAP on such le...
