C# Class AForge.Neuro.Learning.SOMLearning

Kohonen Self Organizing Map (SOM) learning algorithm.

This class implements Kohonen's SOM learning algorithm and is widely used in clusterization tasks. The class allows to train Distance Networks.

Sample usage (clustering RGB colors):

 // set range for randomization neurons' weights Neuron.RandRange = new Range( 0, 255 ); // create network DistanceNetwork	network = new DistanceNetwork( 3, // thress inputs in the network 100 * 100 ); // 10000 neurons // create learning algorithm SOMLearning	trainer = new SOMLearning( network ); // network's input double[] input = new double[3]; // loop while ( !needToStop ) { input[0] = rand.Next( 256 ); input[1] = rand.Next( 256 ); input[2] = rand.Next( 256 ); trainer.Run( input ); // ... // update learning rate and radius continuously, // so networks may come steady state }

Public Methods

Method	Description
Run ( double input ) : double	Runs learning iteration. The method runs one learning iterations - finds winner neuron (the neuron which has weights with values closest to the specified input vector) and updates its weight (as well as weights of neighbor neurons) in the way to decrease difference with the specified input vector.
RunEpoch ( double input ) : double	Runs learning epoch. The method runs one learning epoch, by calling Run method for each vector provided in the input array.
SOMLearning ( DistanceNetwork network ) : System	Initializes a new instance of the SOMLearning class. This constructor supposes that a square network will be passed for training - it should be possible to get square root of network's neurons amount.
SOMLearning ( DistanceNetwork network, int width, int height ) : System	Initializes a new instance of the SOMLearning class. The constructor allows to pass network of arbitrary rectangular shape. The amount of neurons in the network should be equal to width * height.

Method Details

Run() public method

Runs learning iteration.

The method runs one learning iterations - finds winner neuron (the neuron which has weights with values closest to the specified input vector) and updates its weight (as well as weights of neighbor neurons) in the way to decrease difference with the specified input vector.

public Run ( double input ) : double
input	double	Input vector.
return	double

RunEpoch() public method

Runs learning epoch.

The method runs one learning epoch, by calling Run method for each vector provided in the input array.

public RunEpoch ( double input ) : double
input	double	Array of input vectors.
return	double

SOMLearning() public method

Initializes a new instance of the SOMLearning class.

This constructor supposes that a square network will be passed for training - it should be possible to get square root of network's neurons amount.

Invalid network size - square network is expected.

public SOMLearning ( DistanceNetwork network ) : System
network	DistanceNetwork	Neural network to train.
return	System

SOMLearning() public method

Initializes a new instance of the SOMLearning class.

The constructor allows to pass network of arbitrary rectangular shape. The amount of neurons in the network should be equal to width * height.

Invalid network size - network size does not correspond /// to specified width and height.

public SOMLearning ( DistanceNetwork network, int width, int height ) : System
network	DistanceNetwork	Neural network to train.
width	int	Neural network's width.
height	int	Neural network's height.
return	System
