In this study, an octagonal-based self-organizing network’s lattice structure is proposed to allow more exploration and exploitation in updating the weights for better mapping and classification performances. The neighborhood of the octagonal-based lattice structure provides more nodes for the weights updating than standard hexagonal-based lattice structure.

Keywords: self-organizing network, octagonal-based lattice structure, clas-sification problems, biomedical datasets INTRODUCTION SOM has been known as clustering, classification and optimization algorithm in artificial neural network (ANN). Other types of ANN’s architecture such as backpropagation (BP), is good for classification problems but slow in convergence time (Shamsuddin, Darus, & Su-liman, 2002; Shamsuddin, Hassan, & Hua, 2012; Hassan, Quo, & Shamsuddin, 2012). While, Kohonen self- organizing map (SOM) algorithm provides high to low dimensional mapping architecture which involves competitive, cooperative and adaptive scheme. However, stand-ard SOM suffers from a number of serious limitations that hinders its performance, particular-ly in pattern clustering or pattern classification (Weijian & Fraser, 1999). Furthermore, the performance of SOM depends heavily on optimal combination and initialization of weight initialization, input sequence, best matching unit (BMU), distance function, neighborhood function, adaptation rule, learning rate, network size, network architecture, accuracy test, learning mode, convergence and termination criteria. Consequently, those parameters can improve the quality of network mapping, training time, convergence time and accuracy (Nour & Madey, 1996).  The quality of Kohonen map is also determined by its lattice structure since the weights of each neuron in the neighborhood will be updated beyond the lattice area. Therefore, we proposed an octagonal-based SOM lattice structure which so-called OctaSOM for better mapping and classification performances. Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Computing and Informatics, ICOCI 2015 11-13 August, 2015 Istanbul, Turkey. Universiti Utara Malaysia (http://www.uum.edu.my ) Paper No.  058  758  The remainder of this paper is organized as follows: next section describes the related work on SOM algorithm; followed by the explanation on the proposed method, experimental result and analysis. Finally, conclusion of the study. RELATED WORK Self Organizing Map (SOM) was first introduced by von der Malsburg (1973) and pre-sented by Professor Teuvo Kohonen in 1982. The goal of SOM network is to map high di-mensional input signal into a simpler low dimensional discrete map. SOM are based on com-petitive learning, where the output nodes compete among themselves to be the winning node and the only node to be activated by a particular input observation (Hayin, 1999). Conven-tionally, SOM learning algorithm is synonym with the clustering concept due to the adapta-tion process which produces a group of output patterns. The process of SOM training can be categorized either unsupervised or supervised. Supervised SOM contains actual input signal and a vector which predetermines the output class; pre-determine class of each input signal in the training set. These corresponding class values must be used during training. During recognition of new sample, only its single part is compared with the corresponding part of the weight vectors. On the other hand, the unsupervised SOM learns by making up a map topolo-gy and preserving representation of the statistical distribution of all input data. SOM’s algo-rithm exhibits three characteristic processes which is competition, cooperation and adaptation. Many studies have been done on comparing the lattice structure of SOM, for instance, comparative study on standard SOM and Spherical SOM (Brennan & VanHulle, 2007; Hung, 2008; Matsuda & Tokutaka, 2011), an Emergent SOM (Poelmans, Elzinga, Viaene, Dedene, & Hulle, 2009) while enhanced hexagonal SOM (Bariah, 2007;Hassan & Shamsuddin, 2011). Hexagonal lattice structure is good for image processing since the structure can make the image pixel uniform to each other. While does not favor to horizontal or vertical directions (Middleton, Sivaswamy & Coghill, 2001; Kohonen, 2001). Spherical and Torus SOM struc-tures are focus on topological grid mapping structures rather than improvement on lattice structure. The aim of these topological structures is to eliminate the border effect issues and generally apply in clustering and visualization area (Marzouki & Yamakawa, 2005; Nakatsu-ka & Oyabu, 2003; Matsuda, Tokutaka, & Oyabu, 2009). The plane lattice gives a better view of the input data as well as a closer links to edge nodes that makes the 2D visualization of multivariate data possible using SOM’s code vectors (Kihato, Tokutaka, Ohkita, Fujimura, Kotani, Kurozawa & Yoshio, 2008). From previous studies, it is well known that using a neighborhood function with a large width is effective in creating an ordered map from a very random initial condition (Aoki & Aoyagi, 2007). A narrow neighborhood function can cause topological defect; kink state and network map twisted for one dimensional and two dimensional maps respectively. Therefore, in many cases, the width of the neighborhood function is initially set to be large, such as half the width of the array of units, and is gradually decreased to a small final value. Hence, in this paper, we proposed an octagonal-based lattice structure, so-called OctaSOM as an alternative presentation for SOM lattice structure. The detail explanation is given in next section. OCTAGONAL-BASED SELF ORGANIZING MAP (OCTASOM) In this study, an octagonal-based lattice area formulation is presented in equation (1). Un-like conventional hexagonal lattice as in equation (2), a neighborhood of the proposed formu-lation is given, where the neighborhood function, )(tOct4 is used instead of the neighborhood width, )(tHex4 .

The dimension with the maximum value is chosen as distance node from BMU, )( jd . )(tOctV and )(tHexV corresponds to the width of an octagonal and hexago-nal-based lattice, respectively.                            ,        (1) 22 )(41())(()(216)( ttttHex VVVV uuu  ,     (2) where )(tOctV is standard octagonal lattice, )(tHexV is standard hexagonal lattice, )(tV is neighborhood radius.  ¯®­4 01tOct      tDjdtDjd!d .

Thus, the experimental result and analy-sis will be discussed in next section. EXPERIMENTAL RESULT AND ANALYSIS In this study, the proposed method and standard hexagonal lattice structure (HexaSOM) are trained and tested using 10-fold cross validation. The classification analysis is presented in Table 1 with performance range from 0 to 1 and numbers in bold shows the best value of performance evaluations.  As a result, OctaSOM provides better accuracy than HexaSOM or almost all datasets (Ap-pendicitis, heart, hepatitis, mammographic and Wisconsin dataset). Meanwhile, HexaSOM produce better accuracy, 67.60% than OctaSOM, 66.16% in Pima dataset. The reason is due to the imbalance class in Pima dataset where a negative class is 1.85 times more than positive class (the result is influenced towards the majority class). Furthermore, large gap between feature distributions probably affect the result of Pima dataset.  Table 1.
