Optimal Design of LVQ Network using the Winning Expectation of Output Neurons of SOM

SOM의 출력 뉴런의 승리 기대값을 이용한 LVQ 네트워크의 최적 설계

In this paper, we propose a optimal design method of the LVQ network. The proposed method determines the initial reference vectors and optimal network structure using the winning expectation of output neurons of SOM. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, we performed experiments on the Fisher's IRIS data. The experimental results showed that the proposed method improves considerably on the performance of the conventional LVQ networks.
