Abstract

In this paper, we present a new method for classifying object using LVQ (Learning Vector Quantization) with flexible output layer. The proposed LVQ is a supervised learning method that dynamically generates output neurons and initializes automatically the weight vectors from training patterns. If the classes of the nearest output neuron is different from the class of the training pattern, a new output neuron is created and the given training pattern is used to initialize the weight vector of the created neuron. The proposed method is significantly different from the previous competitive learning algorithms in the point that the output neurons are dynamically generated during the learning process.
