Estimating Relevant Input Dimensions for Self-organizing Algorithms

چکیده
We propose a new scheme for enlarging generalized learning vector quantization with weighting factors for the several input dimensions which are adapted according to the specific task. This leads to a more powerful classifier with little extra cost as well as the possibility of automatically pruning irrelevant input dimensions. The method is tested on real world satellite image data and compared to several well known algorithms which determine the intrinsic data dimension.

Representation of Nonlinear Data Structures through Fast Vqp Neural Network
The Vector Quantization and Projection neural network (VQP) is a kind of Self-Organizing Map (SOM) where neurons are not xed on an a priori deened discrete lattice, as in Kohonen maps: they nd their position in a continuous output projection space through a self-learning algorithm. The main property is therefore the ability to map arbitrary shapes of input distribution, and to project them in a...
متن کاملRelations between generalized fractal dimensions and Kohonen's self-organizing map
In this paper we present a method to improve the learning results for diierent data sets, which earlier were diicult or impossible to learn, and to criticize the map's development during learning. Calculating the generalized fractal dimensions of the data set we choose the map's dimension accordingly for guaranteeing the maps ability of topology preservation. Furthermore we explore diierent sta...
متن کاملThe Time Adaptive Self Organizing Map for Distribution Estimation
The feature map represented by the set of weight vectors of the basic SOM (Self-Organizing Map) provides a good approximation to the input space from which the sample vectors come. But the timedecreasing learning rate and neighborhood function of the basic SOM algorithm reduce its capability to adapt weights for a varied environment. In dealing with non-stationary input distributions and changi...
متن کاملOptimization of sediment rating curve coefficients using evolutionary algorithms and unsupervised artificial neural network
Sediment rating curve (SRC) is a conventional and a common regression model in estimating suspended sediment load (SSL) of flow discharge. However, in most cases the data log-transformation in SRC models causing a bias which underestimates SSL prediction. In this study, using the daily stream flow and suspended sediment load data from Shalman hydrometric station on Shalmanroud River, Guilan Pro...
متن کاملMAP-Based Underdetermined Blind Source Separation of Convolutive Mixtures by Hierarchical Clustering and ℓ1-Norm Minimization
We address the problem of underdetermined BSS. While most previous approaches are designed for instantaneous mixtures, we propose a time-frequency-domain algorithm for convolutive mixtures. We adopt a two-step method based on a general maximum a posteriori (MAP) approach. In the first step, we estimate the mixing matrix based on hierarchical clustering, assuming that the source signals are suff...
