A unified approach to selecting optimal step lengths for adaptive vector quantizers
L.L.H. Andrew, Marimuthu Swami Palaniswami · IEEE Transactions on Communications · 1996
This paper presents expressions for the optimal step length to use when training a vector quantizer by stochastic approximation. By treating each update as an estimation problem, it provides a unified framework covering both batch and incremental training, which were previously treated separately, and extends existing results to the semibatch case. In addition, the new results presented provide a measurable improvement over results which were previously thought to be optimal.
