Learning vector quantization for the probabilistic neural network
Pietro Burrascano · IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks · 1991
A modified version of the PNN (probabilistic neural network) learning phase which allows a considerable simplification of network structure by including a vector quantization of learning data is proposed. It can be useful if large training sets are available. The procedure has been successfully tested in two synthetic data experiments. The proposed network has been shown to improve the classification performance of the LVQ (learning vector quantization) procedure.
