An Efficient Initialization Scheme for Self-organizing Feature Map
一种高效的自组织特征映射图的初始化方法

Self-Organizing Feature Map algorithm (SOFM) is widely applied in various areas such as pattern recognition. The paper first discusses the influence of initialization on self-organizing feature map and the main methods to accelerate learning phase of self-organizing feature map. Then an efficient initialization scheme for forming a topologically ordered feature map from boundary to center is proposed. The scheme can enormously reduce the training epochs of self-organizing feature map which can present the t...
