The Kohonen Network Implementations

In this section, we first present an implementation of another common neural

network paradigm, the learning vector quantizer (LVQ), sometimes referred to

as a Kohonen network. We then discuss the implementation of Kohonen’s self-

organizing feature map network, which is an extension of LVQ.

Programming the Learning Vector Quantizer

Figure 6.5 shows the state transition diagram for the implementation of the lear-

ning vector quantizer discussed in this section. First we define some new data

types.

We now present LVQ network definitions. This section defines some data types
