Problem Statement • Use a Learning Vector Quantization network to split up the data set and then feed each smaller input set to a backprop network. Compare the results to a single larger backprop network
Approach • On each cycle, select the closest weight in the LVQ network. • Move the weight towards the input if the network it represents produces the correct output. • If it doesn’t, find some weight vector that does.
Approach • Remember which inputs got sent to which network • After each LVQ cycle, train the backprop network for a number of cycles
Implementation Details • LVQ is very similar to a standard LVQ network, except it remembers how things were classified • At the end of each cycle it trains the BP networks • Each BP network is stored in a separate file
Results • Many more parameters • More epochs • Worse Error • Works Better for some cases
Distance • Used inner product • Data may not have any reason for being classified that way. • No good distance measure for arbitrary data
