Learning with Lotto-type competition
Anson M. Y. Luk, Sandra Lien · 2002
Classical winner-takes-all competitive learning can be modified such that not only the winner is rewarded but also all the losers are penalised. The idea is similar to a simplified Lotto system where all losers are divested of their bets. Experimental results indicate that convergence occurs only if parameters are suitably set.
