Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the Gamma SOM model for temporal sequence processing. The standard SOM is merged with a new context descriptor based on a short term memory structure called Gamma memory. The proposed model allows increasing depth without losing resolution, by adding more contexts. When using a single stage of the Gamma filter, the Merge SOM model is recovered. The temporal quantization error is used as a performance measure. Simulation results are presented using two data sets: Mackey-Glass time series, and Bicup 2006 challenge time series. Gamma SOM surpassed Merge SOM in terms of lower temporal quantization error in these data sets.
