In our proposed method, a series of analysis concerning accuracy were first conducted in the cases of single filter and filter bank, and examinations on significance degree by SOM were conducted based on green(G) and blue(B) color channels. The difference of the filtering effect between two color channels was compared with using the significance degree. We show that the difference of the filtering effect between two channels can be clarified by using the significance degree by SOM.","PeriodicalId":130086,"journal":{"name":"2017 12th International Workshop on Self-Organizing Maps and Learning Vector Quantization, Clustering and Data Visualization (WSOM)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124211487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show that the proposed regularization method enhances the generalization ability of GMLVQ. This is reflected in a lower classification error and a better interpretability of the relevance matrix.","PeriodicalId":130086,"journal":{"name":"2017 12th International Workshop on Self-Organizing Maps and Learning Vector Quantization, Clustering and Data Visualization (WSOM)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127953965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

SOMbrero reveals evidence of various convergence paths over time for these two factors.

First Segment-GNG makes a quantization of the trajectories in the state-space representation of the time series. Then a local prediction model is associated with each segment, which allows us to make predictions. The proposed model is tested with the Mackey-Glass and Lorenz chaotic time series in one-step ahead prediction tasks.

In this setting, a collection of k points in n-dimensions is represented by a k-dimensional subspace, e.g., via the singular value or QR-decompositions. Data assembled in this way is challenging to visualize given abstract points on the Grassmannian do not reside in Euclidean space. The extension of the SOM algorithm to this geometric setting only requires that distances between two points can be measured and that any given point can be moved towards a presented pattern. The similarity between two points on the Grassmannian is measured in terms of the principal angles between subspaces, e.g., the chordal distance. Further, we employ a formula for moving one subspace towards another along the shortest path, i.e., the geodesic between two points on the Grassmannian. This enables a faithful implementation of the SOM approach for visualizing data consisting of k-dimensional subspaces of n-dimensional Euclidean space. We illustrate the resulting algorithm on a hyperspectral imaging application.","PeriodicalId":130086,"journal":{"name":"2017 12th International Workshop on Self-Organizing Maps and Learning Vector Quantization, Clustering and Data Visualization (WSOM)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114206142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
