Self-organizing maps (SOM) are widely used for their topology preservation property: neighboring input vectors are quantified (or classified) either on the same location either on neighboring ones on a predefined grid. But SOM are also widely used for their more classical vector quantization...

A way to achieve feature selection for classification problems polluted by label noise is proposed. The performances of traditional feature selection algorithms often decrease sharply when some samples are wrongly labelled. A method based on a probabilistic label noise model combined with a...

Fractal dimension is an index which can be used to characterize urban areas. The use of the curve of scaling behaviour is less common. However, its shape gives local information about the morphology of the built-up area. This paper suggests a method based on a <?tf=“t906”>k-medoid for clustering these...</?tf=“t906”>
