TLDR
A binary-tree structure neural network model suitable for structured clustering and used to design tree search vector quantization codebooks for image coding that performs better than the generalized Lloyd algorithm in terms of distortion, bits per pixel, and encoding complexity.
Abstract
In this paper, we propose a binary-tree structure neural network model suitable for structured clustering. During and after training, the centroids of the clusters in this model always form a binary tree in the input pattern space. This model is used to design tree search vector quantization codebooks for image coding. Simulation results show that the acquired codebook not only produces better-quality images but also achieves a higher compression ratio than conventional tree search vector quantization. When source coding is applied after VQ, the new model performs better than the generalized Lloyd algorithm in terms of distortion, bits per pixel, and encoding complexity for low-detail and medium-detail images. >

TASOM: the time adaptive self-organizing map

TL;DR: This work proposes a modified SOM algorithm called "time adaptive SOM", or TASOM, that automatically adjusts the learning rate and neighborhood size of each neuron independently, and its performance is compared with that of the basic SOM.

Variants of self-organizing maps

TL;DR: Two innovations are discussed: dynamic weighting of the input signals at each input of each cell, which improves the ordering when very different input signals are used, and definition of neighborhoods in the learning algorithm by the minimum spanning tree, which provides a far better and faster approximation of prominently structured density functions.
