Optimal Combination of SOM Search in Best-Matching Units and Map Neighborhood

چکیده
The distribution of a class of objects, such as images depicting a specific topic, can be studied by observing the best-matching units (BMUs) of the objects’ feature vectors on a Self-Organizing Map (SOM). When the BMU “hits” on the map are summed up, the class distribution may be seen as a two-dimensional histogram or discrete probability density. Due to the SOM’s topology preserving property, one is motivated to smooth the value field and spread out the values spatially to neighboring units, from where one may expect to find further similar objects. In this paper we study the impact of using more map units than just the single BMU of each feature vector in modeling the class distribution. We demonstrate that by varying the number of units selected in this way and varying the width of the spatial convolution one can find an optimal combination which maximizes the class detection performance.

Kohonen's SOM with cache
The Kohonen Self Organizing Map (SOM), is a topology preserving map that maps data from higher dimensions onto a (typically) two dimensional grid of lattice points[3]. The aim of Self-Organization is to generate a topology preserving mapping, where the neighborhood relations in the input space are preserved as well as possible, in the neighborhood relations of the units of the map[2]. One of th...

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...

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...
