This paper presents a method of virtual robot arm control by EMG pattern recognition using the proposed hybrid system. The proposed hybrid system is composed of the LVQ and the SOFM, and the SOFM is used for the preprocessing of the LVQ. The SOFM converts the high dimensional EMG signals to 2-dimensional data. The EMG measurement system uses three surface electrodes to acquire the EMG signal from operator. Six hand gestures can be classified sufficiently by the proposed hybrid system. Experimental results are presented that show the effectiveness of the virtual robot arm control by the proposed hybrid system based classifier for the recognition of hand gestures from EMG signal patterns.

When a patient did emergency call, only the name of the patient and a hospital room are shown to nurse's terminal. So, it's so difficult that a nurse looks for the location of the patient. Therefore we have much time about search patient when a patient does emergency call at the other places of their hospital room. This paper proposed optimal repeater's location using SOFM and patient's location estimation using repeater's location information and RSSI database. We performed simulations on searching patient's location using location estimation algorithm.

In this paper, a new algorithm is proposed that the template matching is used to devide SOFM (self-organizig feature map) for fast learning and to extract features for considering input data types. In order to verify the superoprity of the proposed algorithm, applied to the recognition of handwritten numerals. Templates of handwritten numerals are created by a line of external-contact.

When resampling an image to a new set of coordinates, there is often a noticeable loss in image quality. The interpolation kernel determines the quality of interpolation. In this paper, We think two interpolation methods: cubic-spline method, neural net method, at first study given interpolation method using spline and then present new interpolation methon using SOFM and LAM(neural net method), finally compare the performance of several interpolation methods including replication, bilinear, spline and new methods.

Fractal image compression can reduce the size of image data by contractive mapping of original image. The mapping is affine transformation to find the block(called range block) which is the most similar to the original image. Fractal is very efficient way to reduce the data size. However, it has high distortion rate and requires long encoding time. In this paper, we present the simulation result of fractal and VQ hybrid systems which use different clustering algorithms, normal and improved competitive learning SOFM. The simulation results showed that the VQ hybrid fractal using improved competitive learning SOFM has better distortion rate than the VQ hybrid fractal using normal SOFM.

본 논문에서는 패턴 매칭 방법에 근거하여 인식 단위가 음소인 음소 기반 인식 시스템을 구성하였다. 선택한 신경망 구조는 생물학적 신경망인 코호넨(T. Kohonen)의 SOFM(Self-Organizing Feature Map)으로 패턴 매칭 과정 중 cluster로 사용하였다. SOFM 신경망은 신호 공간에 대해서 최적의 국소(局所) 해부적 사사에 의한 자기 조직화 과정을 수행하며, 그 결과 인식 문제에 있어서 상당히 높은 정확도를 나타낸다. 따라서 SOFM 신경망은 음소 인식에도 효과적으로 응용될 수 있다. 또한 음소 인식 시스템의 성능 향상을 위해 K-means 클러스터링 알고리즘이 결합된 학습 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 음소 인식 시스템의 성능을 평가하기 위해, 먼저, 우리말 음소들을 모음, 파열음, 마찰음, 파찰음, 유음 및 비음, 종성의 6개 음소군으로 분류하고 각 음소군에 대한 특징 지도를 구성하여 labeler의 기능을 수행하게 하였다. 화자 종속 인식실험 결과 87.2%의 인식률을 보였으며 제안한 학습법의 빠른 수렴성과 인식률 향상을 확인하였다.

This paper is a study on Korean word recognition and suggest the method that stabilizes the state-transition in the HMM by applying the `inertia' to the feature vector sequences. In order to reduce the quantized distortion considering probability distribution of input vectors, we used SOFM, an unsupervised learning method, as a vector quantizer, By applying inertia to the feature vector sequences, the overlapping of probability distributions for the response path of each word on the self organizing feature map can be reduced and the state-transition in the Hmm can be Stabilized. In order to evaluate the performance of the method, we carried out experiments for 50 DDD area names. The results showed that applying inertia to the feature vector sequence improved the recognition rate by 7.4% and can make more HMMs available without reducing the recognition rate for the SOFM having the fixed number of neuron.

Vector Transformation is a new method unified vector quantization and coding. So far, codebook generation applied to coding was LBG algorithm. But using the advantage of SOFM(Self-Organizing Feature Map) based on neural network can improve a system's performance. In this paper, we generated VTC(Vector Transformation Coding) codebook applied with SOFM algorithm and compare the result for several coding rates with LBG algorithm. The problem of Vector quantization is complicated calculation and codebook generation. So, to solve this problem, we used neural network approach method.

In this paper, we propose a Self Organizing Feature Map (SOFM) Type Neural Computation Algorithm for the Travelling Salesman Problem(TSP). The actual best solution to the TSP problem is computatinally very hard. The reason is that it has many local minim points. Until now, in neural computation field, Hopield-Tank type algorithm is widely used for the TSP. SOFM and Elastic Net algorithm are other attempts for the TSP. In order to apply SOFM type neural computation algorithms to the TSP, the object function forms a euclidean norm between two vectors. We propose a Largrangian for the above request, and induce a learning equation. Experimental results represent that feasible solutions would be taken with the proposed algorithm.
