K-Dynamical Self Organizing Maps

چکیده
Neural maps are a very popular class of unsupervised neural networks that project high-dimensional data of the input space onto a neuron position in a low-dimensional output space grid. It is desirable that the projection effectively preserves the structure of the data. In this paper we present a hybrid model called K-Dynamical Self Organizing Maps (KDSOM ) consisting of K Self Organizing Maps with the capability of growing and interacting with each other. The input space is soft partitioned by the lattice maps. The KDSOM automatically finds its structure and learns the topology of the input space clusters. We apply our KDSOM model to three examples, two of which involve real world data obtained from a site containing benchmark data sets.

A Dynamical Implementation of Self-organizing Maps
The standard learning algorithm for self-organizing maps (SOM) involves the two steps of a search for the best matching neuron and of an update of its weight vectors in the neighborhood of this neuron. In the dy-namical implementation discussed here, a competitive dynamics of laterally coupled neurons with diiusive interaction is used to nd the best-matching neuron. The resulting neuronal excit...
متن کاملDynamics and Topographic Organization of Recursive Self-Organizing Maps
Recently there has been an outburst of interest in extending topographic maps of vectorial data to more general data structures, such as sequences or trees. However, there is no general consensus as to how best to process sequences using topographic maps, and this topic remains an active focus of neurocomputational research. The representational capabilities and internal representations of the ...

This study aims to segment the market based on demographical, psychological, and behavioral variables, and seeks to investigate their relationship with green consumer behavior. In this research, self-organizing maps are used to segment and to determine the features of green consumer behavior. This was a survey type of research study in which eight variables were selected from the demographical,...
متن کاملDiscovering the phase of a dynamical system from a stream of partial observations with a multi-map self-organizing architecture
This paper presents a self-organizing architecture made of several maps, implementing a recurrent neural network to cope with partial observations of the phase of some dynamical system. The purpose of self-organization is to set up a distributed representation of the actual phase, although the observations received from the system are ambiguous (i.e. the same observation may correspond to disti...
متن کاملRecursive Self-organizing Map as a Contractive Iterative Function System
Recently, there has been a considerable research activity in extending topographic maps of vectorial data to more general data structures, such as sequences or trees. However, the representational capabilities and internal representations of the models are not well understood. We rigorously analyze a generalization of the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) for processing sequential data, Recursive SOM (...
