Pattern recognition algorithms for symbol strings
Traditionally, pattern recognition has been concerned mostly with numerical data, i.e. vectors of real-valued features. Less often, symbolic representations of data have been used. A special category of data, symbol strings, have been neglected for a long time, partially because of a perceived lack of urgency and partially because of the high computational costs involved. Only recently, motivat...
متن کاملString averages and self-organizing maps for strings
In a recent paper, T. Kohonen and P. Somervuo have shown that self-organizing maps (SOMs) are not restricted to numerical data. They can also be defined for symbol strings, provided that one defines an average function for strings and that the adaptation process is performed off-line (batch). In this paper, we present two different methods for computing averages of strings, as well as an on-lin...
متن کاملProcessing Symbolic Data With Self-Organizing Maps
Current research on machine learning and related algorithms is focused mainly on numeric paradigms. It is, however, widely supposed that intelligent behavior strongly relies on ability to manipulate symbols. In this paper we present on-line versions of self-organizing maps for symbol strings. The underlying key concepts are average and similarity, applied on strings. These concepts are easily d...
متن کاملSelf-organizing maps of symbol strings
Unsupervised self-organizing maps (SOMs), as well as supervised learning by Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) can be defined for string variables, too. Their computing becomes possible when the SOM and the LVQ algorithms are expressed as batch versions, and when the average over a list of symbol strings is defined to be the string that has the smallest sum of generalized distance functions fro...
متن کاملSteel Consumption Forecasting Using Nonlinear Pattern Recognition Model Based on Self-Organizing Maps
Steel consumption is a critical factor affecting pricing decisions and a key element to achieve sustainable industrial development. Forecasting future trends of steel consumption based on analysis of nonlinear patterns using artificial intelligence (AI) techniques is the main purpose of this paper. Because there are several features affecting target variable which make the analysis of relations...
