Variations and Applications of Kohonen Networks

There are many variations of the Kohonen network. Some of these will be briefly discussed in this section.

Using a Conscience

DeSieno has used a conscience factor in a Kohonen network. For a winning neuron, if the neuron is winning

more than a fair share of the time (roughly more than 1/n, where n is the number of neurons), then this neuron

has a threshold that is applied temporarily to allow other neurons the chance to win. The purpose of this

modification is to allow more uniform weight distribution while learning is taking place.
