“…In these attempts, the approach involved first narrowing down the candidates, and then selecting one. Clustering has been most often used for the first step [9,10,12,14,15], along with vector quantization [8,11], and Neural Trees [13]. Multilayer perceptrons have been most often used for the second step [8,9,11,12,15,16], along with learning vector quantization [10] and self-organizing maps [13].…”
