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.

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.

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.

The necessity of diagnosis of the rotating machinery which is widely used in the industry is increasing. Many research has been conducted to manipulate field vibration signal data for diagnosing the fault of designated machinery. As the pattern recognition tool of that signal, neural network which use usually back-propagation algorithm was used in the diagnosis of rotating machinery. In this paper, self-organizing feature map(SOFM) which is unsupervised learning algorithm is used in the abnormal defect diagnosis of rotating machinery and then learning vector quantization(LVQ) which is supervised learning algorithm is used to improve the quality of the classifier decision regions.

In this paper, the system with an artificial intelligent that is able itself to adjust the perimeter condition of the plant is presented. The proposed intelligent system is composed of two learning vector quantization(LVQ) networks, which are used mostly in the field of the pattern recognition and signal processing. From the external condition of the plant, the first LVQ network recognizes the pattern of the sensed signal and the second LVQ network judges synthetically user's characteristics and performs learning. The controller controls the plant using the reference value, which is the output value of the synthetic judgement part. In order to verify the usefulness of the proposed method, we simulated the two LVQs are implemented for the artificial intelligent illuminator as well as being carried out computer simulations. We implemented the proposed artificial intelligent illuminator and perform the experiment.

In this paper, the input pattern vectors are extracted and the learning algorithms is designed to recognize taste(bitter, sweet, sour and salty) pattern vectors. The signal intensity of taste are used to compose the input pattern vectors. The SOM(Self Organizing Maps) algorithm for taste pattern recognition is used to learn initial reference vectors and the ot-star learning algorithm is used to determine the class of the output neurons of the sunclass layer. The weights of the proposed algorithm which is between the input layer and the subclass layer can be learned to determine initial reference vectors by using SOM algorithm and to learn reference vectors by using LVQ(Learning Vector Quantization) algorithm. The pattern vectors are classified into subclasses by neurons in the subclass layer, and the weights between subclass layer and output layer are learned to classify the classified subclass, which is enclosed a class. To classify the pattern vectors, the proposed algorithm is simulated with ones of the conventional LVQ, and it is confirmed that the proposed learning method is more successful classification than the conventional LVQ.

본 논문에서는 LVQ(Learning Vector Quantization)을 퍼지화한 새로운 퍼지 학습 법칙을 제안하였다. 퍼지 LVQ 학습 법칙 3은 기존의 학습률 대신에 퍼지 학습률을 사용하였는데, 기존의 LVQ와는 달리 비대칭인 학습률을 사용하였다. 기본의 LVQ에서는 분류가 맞거나 틀렸을 때 같은 학습률을 사용하고 부호만 달랐으나, 새로운 퍼지 학습 법칙에서는 분류가 맞거나 틀렸을 때 부호가 다를 뿐만 아니라 학습률도 다르다. 이 새로운 퍼지 학습 법칙을 무감독 신경회로망인 improved IAFC(Integrated Adaptive Fuzzy Clustering) 신경회로망에 적용하여 감독 신경회로망으로 변형하였다. Improved IAFC 신경회로망은 유연성이 있으면서도 안정성이 있다. 제안한 supervised IAFC 신경회로망 3의 성능과 오류 역전파 신경회로망의 성능을 비교하기 위하여 iris 데이터를 사용하였는데 Supervised IAFC 신경회로망 3가 오류 역전파 신경회로망보다 성능이 우수하였다.

본 논문에서는 LVQ를 퍼지화한 새로운 퍼지 학습 법칙들을 제안하였다. 퍼지 LVQ 학습법칙 1은 기존의 학습률 대신에 퍼지 학습률을 사용하였는데 이는 조건 확률의 퍼지화에 기반을 두고 있다. 퍼지 LVQ 학습법칙 2는 클래스들 사이에 존재하는 입력벡터가 결정 경계선에 대한 정보를 더 가지고 있는 것을 반영한 것이다. 이 새로운 퍼지 학습 법칙들을 improved IAFC(Integrted Adaptive Fuzzy Clustering)신경회로망에 적용하였다. improved IAFC신경회로망은 ART-1 (Adaptive Resonance Theory)신경회로망과 Kohonen의 Self-Organizing Feature Map의 장점을 취합한 퍼지 신경회로망이다. 제안한 supervised IAFC 신경회로망 1과 supervised IAFC neural 신경회로망 2의 성능을 오류 역전파 신경회로망의 성능과 비교하기 위하여 iris 데이터를 사용하였는데 Supervised IAFC neural network 2가 오류 역전파 신경회로망보다 성능이 우수함을 보여주었다.

The structure of a typical pattern recognition consists a pre-processing, a feature extraction(algorithm) and classification or recognition. In classification, when widely varying patterns exist in same category, we need the clustering which organize the similar patterns. Clustering algorithm is two approaches. Firs, statistical approaches which are k-means, ISODATA algorithm. Second, neural network approach which is T. Kohonen's LVQ(Learning Vector Quantization). Nikhil R. Palet al proposed the GLVQ(Generalized LVQ, 1993). This paper suggest the efficient feature extraction methods of handwritten numerals in GLVQ clustering network. We use the handwritten numeral data from 21's authors(ie, 200 patterns) and compare the proportion of misclassified patterns for each feature extraction methods. As results, when we use the projection combination method, the classification ratio is 98.5%.
