In this paper, a new competition strategy for learning vector quantization is proposed. The simple competitive strategy used for learning vector quantization moves the winning prototype which is the closest to the newly given data pattern. We propose a new learning strategy based on k-nearest neighbor prototypes as the winning prototypes. The selection of several prototypes as the winning prototypes guarantees that the updating process occurs more frequently. The design is illustrated with the aid of numeric examples that provide a detailed insight into the performance of the proposed learning strategy.

This paper presents a fuzzy learning rule which is the fuzzified version of LVQ(Learning Vector Quantization). This fuzzy learning rule 3 uses fuzzy learning rates. instead of the traditional learning rates. LVQ uses the same learning rate regardless of correctness of classification. But, the new fuzzy learning rule uses the different learning rates depending on whether classification is correct or not. The new fuzzy learning rule is integrated into the improved IAFC(Integrated Adaptive Fuzzy Clustering) neural network. The improved IAFC neural network is both stable and plastic. The iris data set is used to compare the performance of the supervised IAFC neural network 3 with the performance of backprogation neural network. The results show that the supervised IAFC neural network 3 is better than backpropagation neural network.

Learning rule affects importantly the performance of neural network. This paper proposes a new fuzzy learning rule that uses the learning rate considering the distance between the input vector and the prototypes of classes. When the learning rule updates the prototypes of classes, this consideration reduces the effect of outlier on the prototypes of classes. This comes from making the effect of the input vector, which locates near the decision boundary, larger than an outlier. Therefore, it can prevents an outlier from deteriorating the decision boundary. This new fuzzy learning rule is integrated into IAFC(Integrated Adaptive Fuzzy Clustering) fuzzy neural network. Iris data set is used to compare the performance of the proposed fuzzy neural network with those of other supervised neural networks. The results show that the proposed fuzzy neural network is better than other supervised neural networks.

This paper is concerned with the problem of speaker-adaptive speech synthes is method using a mapped codebook designed by fuzzy mapping on FLVQ (Fuzzy Learning Vector Quantization). The FLVQ is used to design both input and reference speaker's codebook. This algorithm is incorporated fuzzy membership function into the LVQ(learning vector quantization) networks. Unlike the LVQ algorithm, this algorithm minimizes the network output errors which are the differences of clas s membership target and actual membership values, and results to minimize the distances between training patterns and competing neurons. Speaker Adaptation in speech synthesis is performed as follow;input speaker's codebook is mapped a reference speaker's codebook in fuzzy concepts. The Fuzzy VQ mapping replaces a codevector preserving its fuzzy membership function. The codevector correspondence histogram is obtained by accumulating the vector correspondence along the DTW optimal path. We use the Fuzzy VQ mapping to design a mapped codebook. The mapped codebook is defined as a linear combination of reference speaker's vectors using each fuzzy histogram as a weighting function with membership values. In adaptive-speech synthesis stage, input speech is fuzzy vector-quantized by the mapped codcbook, and then FCM arithmetic is used to synthesize speech adapted to input speaker. The speaker adaption experiments are carried out using speech of males in their thirties as input speaker's speech, and a female in her twenties as reference speaker's speech. Speeches used in experiments are sentences /anyoung hasim nika/ and /good morning/. As a results of experiments, we obtained a synthesized speech adapted to input speaker.

This paper presents a new fuzzy learning rule which considers the Euclidean distances between the input vector and the prototypes of classes. The new fuzzy learning rule is integrated into the supervised IAFC neural network 4. This neural network is stable and plastic. We used iris data to compare the performance of the supervised IAFC neural network 4 with the performances of back propagation neural network and LVQ algorithm.

본 논문은 클래스들의 대표값들과 입력 벡터와의 거리를 사용한 새로운 퍼지 학습법칙을 제안한다. 이 새로운 퍼지 학습을 supervised IAFC(Integrated Adaptive Fuzzy Clustering) 신경회로망에 적용하였다. 이 새로운 신경회로망은 안정성을 유지하면서도 유연성을 가지고 있다. iris 데이터를 사용하여 테스트한 결과 supervised IAFC 신경회로망 4는 오류 역전파 신경회로망과 LVQ 알고리즘보다 성능이 우수하였다.

Pattern recognition process is made up of the feature extraction in the pre-processing, the pattern clustering by training and the recognition process. This paper presents the F-LVQ (Fuzzy Learning Vector Quantization) pattern classification model which is optimized by the fuzzy membership function for the OCR(Optical Character Recognition) system. We trained 220 numeric patterns of 22 Hangul and English fonts and tested 4840 patterns whose forms are changed variously. As a result of this experiment, it is proved that the proposed model is more effective and robust than other typical LVQ models.

A switching control using multiple gains in the fuzzy rule is newly proposed for an abruptly changing hydraulic servo system. The proposed scheme employs fuzzy PID control, where modified input parameters are used, and LVQNN(Learning Vector Quantization Neural Network) as a switching controller (supervisor). Simulation and experimental studies have been carried out to validate and illustrate the proposed controller.

This paper is the study for recognizing single vowels of speaker-independent, and we suppose a method of speech recognition using VQ(Vector Quantization)/NN(Neural Network). This method makes a VQ codebook, which is used for obtaining the observation sequence, and then claculates the probability value by comparing each codeword with the data, finally uses these probability values for the input value of the neural network. Korean signle vowels are selected for our recognition experiment, and ten male speakers pronounced eight single vowels ten times. We compare the performance of our method with those of fuzzy VQ/HMM and conventional VQ/NN According to the experiment result, the recognition rate by VQ/NN is 92.3%, by VQ/HMM using fuzzy is 93.8% and by VQ/NN using fuzzy is 95.7%. Therefore, it is shown that recognition rate of speech recognition by fuzzy VQ/NN is better than those of fuzzy VQ/HMM and conventional VQ/HMM because of its excellent learning ability.

In this paper, a translation, rotation and scale invariant system for the recognition of closed 2-D images using the bispectrum of a contour sequence and a weighted fuzzy classifier is derived and compared with the recognition process using one of the competitive neural algorithm, called a LVQ( Loaming Vector Quantization). The bispectrum based on third order cumulants is applied to the contour sequences of an image to extract fifteen feature vectors for each planar image. These bispectral feature vectors, which are invariant to shape translation, rotation and scale transformation, can be used to the represent two-dimensional planar images and are fed into a weighted fuzzy classifier. The experimental processes with eight different shapes of aircraft images are presented to illustrate a relatively high performance of the proposed recognition system.
