Abstract

We extend the self-organizing map (SOM) in the form as proposed by Heskes to a supervised fuzzy classification method. On the one hand, this leads to a robust classifier where efficient learning with fuzzy labeled or partially contradictory data is possible. On the other hand, the integration of labeling into the location of prototypes in a SOM leads to a visualization of those parts of the data relevant for the classification.
