Similarity analysis of EEG data based on self organizing map neural network
The Electroencephalography (EEG) is the recording of electrical activity along the scalp. This recorded data are very complex. EEG has a big role in several applications such as in the diagnosis of human brain diseases and epilepsy. Also, we can use the EEG signals to control an external device via Brain Computer Interface (BCI) by our mind. There are many algorithms to analyse the recorded EEG data, but it still remains one of the big challenges in the world. In this article, we extended our previous proposed method. Our extended method uses Self-organizing Map (SOM) as an EEG data classifier. The proposed method we can divide in following steps: capturing EEG raw data from the sensors, applying filters on this data, we will use the frequencies in the range from 0.5~Hz to 60~Hz, smoothing the data with 15-th order of Polynomial Curve Fitting, converting filtered data into text using Turtle Graphic, Lempel-Ziv complexity for measuring similarity between two EEG data trials and Self-Organizing Map Neural Network as a final classifiers. The experiment results show that our model is able to detect up to 96% finger movements correctly

New Methods for Monitoring Spatial Truck Travel Patterns in California Using Existing Detector Infrastructure
This study developed a methodology to accurately estimate network-wide truck flows by leveraging existing point detection infrastructure, namely inductive loop detectors. The tracking model identifies individual trucks at detector locations using advanced inductive signatures and matches vehicle pairs at detector locations, using an extended form of the Bayesian classification model to estimate matching and non-matching probabilities of the vehicle pairs Several vehicle feature selection and weighting methods including Self Organizing Map and K-means clustering were applied to better identify individual vehicles from signature data. It was shown that the proposed extensive feature processing enhanced vehicle identification performance even among vehicle pools sharing similar physical configurations. The developed model was tested along an approximately 5.5-mile freeway segment on I-5 and CA-78 in San Diego, California where only 67 percent of the total trucks were observed at both up- and down-stream detector sites. Results showed balanced performances in exactness and completeness of matching with 91 percent of correct outcomes for multi-unit truck
Application of artificial neural network in market segmentation: A review on recent trends
Despite the significance of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) algorithm to
market segmentation, there is a need of a comprehensive literature review and a
classification system for it towards identification of future trend of market
segmentation research. The present work is the first identifiable academic
literature review of the application of neural network based techniques to
segmentation. Our study has provided an academic database of literature between
the periods of 2000-2010 and proposed a classification scheme for the articles.
One thousands (1000) articles have been identified, and around 100 relevant
selected articles have been subsequently reviewed and classified based on the
major focus of each paper. Findings of this study indicated that the research
area of ANN based applications are receiving most research attention and self
organizing map based applications are second in position to be used in
segmentation. The commonly used models for market segmentation are data mining,
intelligent system etc. Our analysis furnishes a roadmap to guide future
research and aid knowledge accretion and establishment pertaining to the
application of ANN based techniques in market segmentation. Thus the present
work will significantly contribute to both the industry and academic research
in business and marketing as a sustainable valuable knowledge source of market
segmentation with the future trend of ANN application in segmentation.Comment: 24 pages, 7 figures,3 Table
Magnification Control in Self-Organizing Maps and Neural Gas
We consider different ways to control the magnification in self-organizing
maps (SOM) and neural gas (NG). Starting from early approaches of magnification
control in vector quantization, we then concentrate on different approaches for
SOM and NG. We show that three structurally similar approaches can be applied
to both algorithms: localized learning, concave-convex learning, and winner
relaxing learning. Thereby, the approach of concave-convex learning in SOM is
extended to a more general description, whereas the concave-convex learning for
NG is new. In general, the control mechanisms generate only slightly different
behavior comparing both neural algorithms. However, we emphasize that the NG
results are valid for any data dimension, whereas in the SOM case the results
hold only for the one-dimensional case.Comment: 24 pages, 4 figure
Multiorder neurons for evolutionary higher-order clustering and growth
This letter proposes to use multiorder neurons for clustering irregularly shaped data arrangements. Multiorder neurons are an evolutionary extension of the use of higher-order neurons in clustering. Higher-order neurons parametrically model complex neuron shapes by replacing the classic synaptic weight by higher-order tensors. The multiorder neuron goes one step further and eliminates two problems associated with higher-order neurons. First, it uses evolutionary algorithms to select the best neuron order for a given problem. Second, it obtains more information about the underlying data distribution by identifying the correct order for a given cluster of patterns. Empirically we observed that when the correlation of clusters found with ground truth information is used in measuring clustering accuracy, the proposed evolutionary multiorder neurons method can be shown to outperform other related clustering methods. The simulation results from the Iris, Wine, and Glass data sets show significant improvement when compared to the results obtained using self-organizing maps and higher-order neurons. The letter also proposes an intuitive model by which multiorder neurons can be grown, thereby determining the number of clusters in data
Winner-Relaxing Self-Organizing Maps
A new family of self-organizing maps, the Winner-Relaxing Kohonen Algorithm,
is introduced as a generalization of a variant given by Kohonen in 1991. The
magnification behaviour is calculated analytically. For the original variant a
magnification exponent of 4/7 is derived; the generalized version allows to
steer the magnification in the wide range from exponent 1/2 to 1 in the
one-dimensional case, thus provides optimal mapping in the sense of information
theory. The Winner Relaxing Algorithm requires minimal extra computations per
learning step and is conveniently easy to implement.Comment: 14 pages (6 figs included). To appear in Neural Computatio
Satellite-based precipitation estimation using watershed segmentation and growing hierarchical self-organizing map
This paper outlines the development of a multi-satellite precipitation estimation methodology that draws on techniques from machine learning and morphology to produce high-resolution, short-duration rainfall estimates in an automated fashion. First, cloud systems are identified from geostationary infrared imagery using morphology based watershed segmentation algorithm. Second, a novel pattern recognition technique, growing hierarchical self-organizing map (GHSOM), is used to classify clouds into a number of clusters with hierarchical architecture. Finally, each cloud cluster is associated with co-registered passive microwave rainfall observations through a cumulative histogram matching approach. The network was initially trained using remotely sensed geostationary infrared satellite imagery and hourly ground-radar data in lieu of a dense constellation of polar-orbiting spacecraft such as the proposed global precipitation measurement (GPM) mission. Ground-radar and gauge rainfall measurements were used to evaluate this technique for both warm (June 2004) and cold seasons (December 2004-February 2005) at various temporal (daily and monthly) and spatial (0.04 and 0.25) scales. Significant improvements of estimation accuracy are found classifying the clouds into hierarchical sub-layers rather than a single layer. Furthermore, 2-year (2003-2004) satellite rainfall estimates generated by the current algorithm were compared with gauge-corrected Stage IV radar rainfall at various time scales over continental United States. This study demonstrates the usefulness of the watershed segmentation and the GHSOM in satellite-based rainfall estimations
SOM-VAE: Interpretable Discrete Representation Learning on Time Series
High-dimensional time series are common in many domains. Since human
cognition is not optimized to work well in high-dimensional spaces, these areas
could benefit from interpretable low-dimensional representations. However, most
representation learning algorithms for time series data are difficult to
interpret. This is due to non-intuitive mappings from data features to salient
properties of the representation and non-smoothness over time. To address this
problem, we propose a new representation learning framework building on ideas
from interpretable discrete dimensionality reduction and deep generative
modeling. This framework allows us to learn discrete representations of time
series, which give rise to smooth and interpretable embeddings with superior
clustering performance. We introduce a new way to overcome the
non-differentiability in discrete representation learning and present a
gradient-based version of the traditional self-organizing map algorithm that is
more performant than the original. Furthermore, to allow for a probabilistic
interpretation of our method, we integrate a Markov model in the representation
space. This model uncovers the temporal transition structure, improves
clustering performance even further and provides additional explanatory
insights as well as a natural representation of uncertainty. We evaluate our
model in terms of clustering performance and interpretability on static
(Fashion-)MNIST data, a time series of linearly interpolated (Fashion-)MNIST
images, a chaotic Lorenz attractor system with two macro states, as well as on
a challenging real world medical time series application on the eICU data set.
Our learned representations compare favorably with competitor methods and
facilitate downstream tasks on the real world data.Comment: Accepted for publication at the Seventh International Conference on
