Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We have proposed a formulation of Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) based on Minimum Classification Error (MCE) using a new misclassification measure. In this report, we attempt to clarify the convergence property of reference vectors mathematically from a dynamical point of view. We discuss the equilibrium states in a dynamical system for two-class classification, and prove that equilibrium points exist in the proposed formulation, while they do not exist in LVQ2.1 or the conventional formulation based on MCE. Simulation experiments for artificial data reveal that reference vectors are well converged in the proposed formulation.
