Prototype‐based models in machine learning

Abstract: An overview is given of prototype-based models in machine learning. In this framework, observations, i.e., data, are stored in terms of typical representatives. Together with a suitable measure of similarity, the systems can be employed in the context of unsupervised and supervised analysis of potentially high-dimensional, complex datasets. We discuss basic schemes of competitive vector quantization as well as the so-called neural gas approach and Kohonen's topology-preserving self-organizing map. Supervised l… Show more

“…Then the primary shapes -the prototypes or archetypes -in the data can be captured by the centers of the detected clusters (see e.g. [19]). We could perform the clustering directly in the high-dimensional feature space before encoding, but this is often computationally unfeasible.…”

“…Several ARD methods are available within the family of LVQ (learning vector quantization), all of which use an adaptive metric in the similarity estimation [3]. Similarity is a crucial concept of quantitative discriminant analysis.…”

“…Here, however, the focus is on the study of localized, but explicitly time-dependent densities of high-dimensional inputs in a stream of training examples. More specifically, we consider Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) as a prototype-based framework for classification [9,10,11]. LVQ systems are most frequently trained in an online setting by presenting a sequence of single examples for iterative adaptation [10,11,12].…”

LVQ systems are most frequently trained in an online setting by presenting a sequence of single examples for iterative adaptation [10,11,12]. Hence, LVQ should constitute a natural tool for incremental learning in non-stationary environments [4].…”
