Neuron splitting for efficient feature map formation
L.L.H. Andrew · 2002
Kohonen's Self Organising Feature Map (SOFM) produces an ordered mapping from one space to another. The paper describes an algorithm inspired by the splitting initialisation for the classical LBG method or generalised Lloyd algorithm (Y. Linde et al., 1980) for vector quantiser design, which allows the efficient generation of maps with various topologies and with high local and global ordering.>
