This paper introduces the concept of fixed weights and proposes an algorithm for classification by adding this concept to vector space separation method in LVQ. The proposed algorithm is based on competitive learning. It uses fixed weightsfor generality and fast adaptation efficient radius for new weight creation, and L1 distance for fast calcualtion. It can be applied to many fields requiring adaptive learning with the support of generality, real-tiem processing and sufficient training effect using smaller data set. Recognition rate of over 98% for the train set and 94% for the test set was obtained by applying the suggested algorithm to on-line handwritten recognition.

This paper describes recognition results using the modified Learning Vector Quantization (MLVQ2) method which we proposed previously. At first, we investigated the property of duration of 29 Korean consonants and found that the variances of th duration were extremely big comparing to other languages. We carried out preliminary recognition experiments for three stop consonants P, T and K. From the recognition results, we defined the optimum conditions for the learning. Then we applied the MLVQ2 method to the recognition of Korean consonants. The training was carried out using the phoneme samples in the 611 word vocabulary uttered by 2 male speakers, where each of the speakers uttered two repetitions. The recognition experiment was carried out for the phoneme samples in two repetitions of the 611 word vocabulary uttered by another male speaker. The recognition scores for the twelve plosives were 68.2% for the test samples. The recofnition scores for the 29 Korean consonants were 64.8% for the test samples.

The monitoring and diagnostics of the rotating machinery have been received considerable attention for many years. The objectives are to classify the machinery condition and to find out the cause of abnormal condition. This paper describes a classification method of diagnosing the small reciprocating compressor for refrigerators using the artificial neural network and the wavelet transform. In order to extract salient features, the wavelet transform are used from primary noise signals. Since the wavelet transform decomposes raw time-waveform signals into two respective parts in the time space and frequency domain, more and better features can be obtained easier than time-waveform analysis. In the training phase for classification, self-organizing feature map(SOFM) and learning vector quantization(LVQ) are applied, and the accuracies of them ate compared with each other. This paper is focused on the development of an advanced signal classifier to automatize the vibration signal pattern recognition. This method is verified by small reciprocating compressors, for refrigerator and normal and abnormal conditions are classified with high flexibility and reliability.

Since self-organizing map (SOM) preserves the topology of ordering in input spaces and trains itself by unsupervised algorithm, it is Llsed in many areas. However, SOM has a shortcoming: structure cannot be easily detcrmined without many trials-and-errors. Structure-adaptive self-orgnizing map (SASOM) which can adapt its structure as well as its weights overcome the shortcoming of self-organizing map: SASOM makes use of structure adaptation capability to place the nodes of prototype vectors into the pattern space accurately so as to make the decision boundmies as close to the class boundaries as possible. In this scheme, the initialization of weights of newly adapted nodes is important. This paper proposes a method which optimizes SASOM with genetic algorithm (GA) to determines the weight vector of newly split node. The leanling algorithm is a hybrid of unsupervised learning method and supervised learning method using LVQ algorithm. This proposed method not only shows higher performance than SASOM in terms of recognition rate and variation, but also preserves the topological order of input patterns well. Experiments with 2D pattern space data and handwritten digit database show that the proposed method is promising.
