Adaptation strength according to neighborhood ranking of self-organizing neural networks
In this paper we treat a novel adaptation strength according to neighborhood ranking of self-organizing neural networks with the objective of avoiding the initial dependency of reference vectors, which is related to the strength in the neural-gas network suggested by Martinetz et al. The present approach exhibits the effectiveness in the average distortion compared to the conventional technique through numerical experiments. Furthermore the present approach is applied to image data and the validity in employing as an image coding system is examined.
