Abstract

This paper proposes a local PCA-SOM algorithm. The new competition measure is computational efficient, and implicitly incorporates the Mahalanobis distance and the reconstruction error. The matrix inversion or PCA decomposition for each data input is not needed as compared to the previous models. Moreover, the local data distribution is completely stored in the covariance matrix instead of the pre-defined numbers of the principal components. Thus, no priori information of the optimal principal subspace is required. Experiments on both the synthesis data and a pattern learning task are carried out to show the performance of the proposed method.
