Kohonen and Patterns - page 7

 
Almost futile exercise
 

Who has implemented Kohonen elastic maps and calculated elastic coupling energy - share the algorithm.

Interested in expression of tightening of nodes around BMU proportional to proximity of weights.

 

I don't know about energy, I haven't encountered it. Is it like calculating map efficiency for sampling?

And a Gaussian function is usually used for constriction. The distance can be Cartesian or Manhattan, it's up to you, especially if you have honeycombs.

If training with multiple winners, you can train as with the main one, gradually lowering the adaptation factor.
