Fragment of Paper “Experimental researches of efficiency of Kohonen maps for pattern visualization”

There is a Fragment of Paper “Experimental researches of efficiency of Kohonen maps for pattern visualization” published in 2008 in Scientific and Technical Journal “Bionics Intellect”. Vol. 1(68).–2008. P.143-148 by Victoria Repka, Аndrey Sherstnyuk, Оlga Ivchenko, Natalya Lesna.

See on my Goggle Group:

Data set “Spirals” still was chosen for describing Kohonen map visualization because of its obviousness and simplicity result representation.

Ways of visualization by means of the Unified matrix of distances and visualization by the Hinton diagram are applied.
These experimental researches were spent for an estimation of visualization quality, by means of a distances matrix. It has shown that more effective is the map development of the greater size, than the addition of cells for distance mapping between neurons at coloring maps.
The received results have allowed making the conclusion that at increase in the size of a topological map, free cells are filled inactive neurons. They actually fill the cells visualizing distance at the same time as well as active neurons do it, depending on the map size and distribution of images over the nodes.
Later the results for multidimensional data set will present for sample about clients has been divided by a network into 4 groups and displayed by means of the Hinton diagram.

Spring has come!


Congratulation!
Spring came to Ukraine.
