Comparison of Supervised Self-Organizing Maps Using Euclidian or Mahalanobis Distance in Classification Context
نویسندگان
چکیده
The supervised self-organizing map consists in associating output vectors to input vectors through a map, after self-organizing it on the basis of both input and desired output given altogether. This paper compares the use of Euclidian distance and Mahalanobis distance for this model. The distance comparison is made on a data classification application with either global approach or partitioning approach. The Mahalanobis distance in conjunction with the partitioning approach leads to interesting classification results.

When input data is noisy and with a lack of uniformity, classification is a very difficult problem, because decision regions are hard to define in an optimal way. This is the case of recognition of old handwritten manuscript characters, where patterns of the same class may be very different from each other, and patterns of different classes may be similar in terms of Euclidian distances between...

متن کاملImage Segmentation By Self Organizing Map With Mahalanobis Distance
Image segmentation is the classification of data sets into group of similar data points. This article proposed a method to determine the winner unit by self organizing mapping network. The distance between the input vector and the weight vector has been determined by mahalanobis distance and chooses the unit whose weight vector has the smallest mahalanobis distance from the input vector. The re...
