The existing self-organizing feature map of Kohonen has weakpoint that need too much input patterns in order to converse into the learning rate and equilibrium state when it trains. Making up for the current weak point, B.Bavarian suggested the method of that distributed the learning rate such as Gaussian function. However, this method has also a disadvantage which can not achieve the right self-organizing. In this paper, we proposed the method of improving the convergence speed and the convergence rate of self-organizing feature map converting the Gaussian function into dynamic approximate curve used in when trains the self-organizing feature map.

코호넨(T. Kohonen)의 자기조직화지도(Self-Organizing Map; SOM)은 저차원 그리드 공간에 고차원 다변량 자료를 축약하여 시각적으로 나타내는 비지도 학습법의 일종으로 최근 들어 통계 분석자들이 많은 관심을 가지고 있는 분야이다. 그러나 SOM은 개체공간의 연속형으로 표현되는 개체를 저차원 그리드공간에 승자노드에 비연속적으로 표현한다는 단점을 지니고 있다. 본 논문에서는 SOM을 통계적 목적으로 사용하기 위해 요구되는 그리드공간에 개체를 연속적으로 표현하는 방법들을 제안하고 활용 예를 제시하고자 한다

A clustering algorithms with dynamic adjustment of learning rate for GBFCM(Gradient Based FCM) is proposed in this paper. This algorithm combines two idea of dynamic K-means algorithms and GBFCM : learning rate variation with entropy concept and continuous membership grade. To evaluate dynamic GBFCM, we made comparisons with Kohonen's Self-Organizing Map over several tutorial examples and image compression. The results show that DGBFCM(Dynamic GBFCM) gives superior performance over Kohonen's algorithm in terms of signal-to-noise.

The visuo-motor map is based on the Kohonen's self-organizing map. The map is learned the relation of the end effecter coordinates and the joint angles. In this paper, a 3 d-o-fmanipulator which moves in the 2D space is targeted. A CCD camera is set beside the manipulator, and the end effecter coordinates are given from the image of a manipulator. As a result of learning, the end effecter can be moved to the destination without exact teaching.

Using a neural network for vector quantization, we can expect to have better codebook design algorithm for its adaptive process. Also, the designed codebook puts the codewords in order by its self-organizing characteristics, which makes it possible to partially search the codebook for real time process. To exploit these features of the neural network, in this paper, we propose a new codebook design algorithm that modified the KSFM(Kohonen`s Self-organizing Feature Map) and then combines the K-means algorithm. Experimental results show the performance improvment and the ability of the partical seach of the codebook for the real time process.

This paper defiens a perceptron-like self-organizing map(PSOM) and show that PSOM is equivalent to Kohonen's self-organizing map(SOM) if target values of output neurons of PSOM are selected properly. This fact imphes that PSOM is a generalized SOM algorithm. This paper also show that if clustering is restricted to vector sets distributed on hypersphere with unit radius, SOM and dot-product SOM(DOSM) are equivalent algorithms. Therefore we conclude that DSOM is a special case of SOM, which in turn a special, case of PSOM.

In this study, the new methodology which combines Kohonen self-organizing map(KSOM) neural networks model and the conventional neural networks models such as feedforward neural networks model and generalized neural networks model is introduced to forecast flood stage in Nakdong river, Republic of Korea. It is possible to train without output data in KSOM neural networks model. KSOM neural networks model is used to classify the input data before it combines with the conventional neural networks model. Four types of models such as SOM-FFNNM-BP, SOM-GRNNM-GA, FFNNM-BP, and GRNNM-GA are used to train and test performances respectively. From the statistical analysis for training and testing performances, SOM-GRNNM-GA shows the best results compared with the other models such as SOM-FFNNM-BP, FFNNM-BP, and GRNNM-GA and FFNNM-BP shows vice-versa. From this study, we can suggest the new methodology to forecast flood stage and construct flood warning system in river basin.

Exploring distributional patterns of multivariate data is very essential in understanding the characteristics of given data set, as well as in building plausible models for the data. For that purpose, low-dimensional visualization methods have been developed by many researchers along various directions. As one of methods, Kohonen's SOM (Self-Organizing Map) is prominent. SOM compresses the volume of the data, yields abstraction from the data and offers visual display on low-dimensional grids. Although it is proven quite effective, it has one undesirable property: SOM's display is discrete. In this study, we propose two techniques for enhancing quality of SOM's display, so that SOM's display becomes continuous. The proposed methods are demonstrated in two numerical examples.

The most effective computer algorithms for facility layout that have been found are mainly based on the improvement heuristic such as CRAFT. In this paper, we present a new algorithm which is based on the Kohonen neual network. The algorithm firstly forms a self-organizing feature map where the most important similarity relationships among the facilities are converted into their spatial relationships. A layout is then obtained by a minor adjustment to the map. Some simulation results are given to show the performance of the algorithm.
