d) Training Cycles<br />

Chapter 1 21<br />

The training process is a stochastic process, so the number of cycles depends on the<br />

specific case: if it is too small, the result does not converge; on the other hand, too<br />

high value tends to incorporate many classes in a unique one<br />

In figure 1.3, it is possible to see a Kohonen‘s map with two dimensions where<br />

neuron ηkj is connected with its neighborhood.<br />

Fig. 1.3: Schematic representation of Kohonen SOM<br />

When an input from the layer w activates a neuron in the η layer, the interaction<br />

that the winning neuron (selected with a user-defined rule) establishes with its<br />

neighbors is defined according to a neighborhood function, which normally takes<br />

value between 0 and 1. This interaction determines a modification of the weights<br />

dependent on the neighborhood function and the response of the neuron. The ηj<br />

neuron activity is defined by:
