Self-organizing maps (SOM) are widely used for their topology preservation property: neighboring input vectors are quantiÿed (or classiÿed) either on the same location or on nei...
In this paper, we extend the conventional vector quantization by incorporating a vigilance parameter, which steers the tradeoff between plasticity and stability during incremental...
—This paper proposes a dominant color based vector quantization algorithm that automatically categorizes image regions. In contrast to the conventional vector quantization algori...
Abstract. We study Winner-Takes-All and rank based Vector Quantization along the lines of the statistical physics of off-line learning. Typical behavior of the system is obtained w...
