Perceptron-like LVQ : Generalization of LVQ
Geun-Bae Song, Haing-Sei Lee · Journal of the Institute of Electronics Engineers of Korea · 2001
In this paper we reanalyze Kohonen‘s learning vector quantizing (LVQ) Learning rule which is based on Hcbb’s learning rule with a view to a gradient descent method. Kohonen's LVQ can be classified into two algorithms according to 6learning mode: unsupervised LVQ(ULVQ) and supervised LVQ(SLVQ). These two algorithms can be represented as gradient descent methods, if target values of output neurons are generated properly. As a result, we see that the LVQ learning method is a special case of a gradient descent method and also that LVQ is represented by a generalized percetron-like LVQ(PLVQ).
