A novel derivation is presented of T. Kohonen's topographic mapping training algorithm (Self-Organization and Associative Memory, 1984), based upon an extension of the Linde-Buzo-Gray (LBG) algorithm for vector quantizer design. Thus a vector quantizer is designed by minimizing an L2 reconstruction distortion measure, including an additional contribution from the effect of code noise which corrupts the output of the vector quantizer. The neighborhood updating scheme of Kohonen's topographic mapping training algorithm emerges as a special case of this code noise model. This formulation of Kohonen's algorithm is a specific instance of the robust hidden layer principle, which stabilizes the internal representations chosen by a network against anticipated noise or distortion processes
