Topology preservation in topographic maps

چکیده
The construction of topographic models for fitting a model to the data set requires selection of appropriate values for its parameters. Since the parameters control the flexibility of the model, the generalization problem is directly related to parameter selection. This paper addresses this problem, using a novel criterion for monitoring topographic maps in which the key observation is that we can measure how close to equiprobabilistic a given map is.

Weighted differential topographic function: a refinement of topographic function
Topology preservation of Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs) is an advantageous property for correct clustering. Among several existing measures of topology violation, this paper studies the Topographic Function (TF) [1]. We find that this measuring method, demonstrated for low-dimensional data in [1], has a reliable foundation in its distance metric for the interpretation of the neighborhood relations...
متن کاملTopology Preservation in SOM
The SOM has several beneficial features which make it a useful method for data mining. One of the most important features is the ability to preserve the topology in the projection. There are several measures that can be used to quantify the goodness of the map in order to obtain the optimal projection, including the average quantization error and many topological errors. Many researches have st...
متن کاملTopology Preservation in Fuzzy Self-Organizing Maps
One of the important properties of SOM is its topology preservation of the input data. The topographic error is one of the techniques proposed to measure how well the continuity of the map is preserved. However, this topographic error is only applicable to the crisp SOM algorithms and cannot be adapted to the fuzzy SOM (FSOM) since FSOM does not assign a unique winning neuron to the input patte...
متن کاملNonvectorial kmer and topology preservation
In nonvectorial topographic maps the data sequences are not previously converted into histogram vectors, thus avoiding the shortcomings associated to these representations. Like in standard vectorial topographic maps, in nonvectorial learning algorithms the optimal speed of shrinking of the neighbourhood range should be experimentally determined. This paper shows how UDL monitoring scheme can b...
متن کاملA Topographic Product for the Optimization of Self-Organizing Feature Maps
Optimizing the performance of self-organizing feature maps like the Kohonen map involves the choice of the output space topology. We present a topographic product which measures the preservation of neighborhood relations as a criterion to optimize the output space topology of the map with regard to the global dimensionality DA as well as to the dimensions in the individual directions. We test t...
