Abstract

In this paper ensembles of self organizing NNs through fusion are introduced. In these ensembles not the output signals of the base learners are combined, but their architectures are properly merged. Merging algorithms for fusion and boosting-fusion-based ensembles of SOMs, GSOMs and NG networks are presented and positively evaluated on benchmarks from the UCI database.
