Abstract

We propose a method to eliminate unnecessary neurons in Variable-Density Self-Organizing Map. We have defined an energy function which denotes the error of the map, and optimize the energy function by using graph cut algorithm. We conducted experiments to investigate the effectiveness of our approach.
