Search Results for "prototype"

Some of the usual problems for Learning vector quantization (LVQ) based methods are that one cannot optimally guess about the number of prototypes required for initialization for multimodal data structures i.e.these algorithms are very sensitive to initialization of prototypes and one has to pre define the optimal number of prototypes before running the algorithm. If a prototype, for some reasons, is ‘outside’ the cluster which it should represent and if there are points of a different categories in between, then the other points act as a barrier and the prototype will not find its optimum position during training. Since the model complexity is not known in many cases, we avoid this problem by introducing a "Dynamic" version of LVQ. ...

A mobile application to create accelerometer based activity recognition models directly on the phone. The configuration of the segmentation and feature extraction process chain requires expert knownledge. The prototype was developed in 2012 in a bachelor thesis at the University of Kassel and was optimized and enhanced for an experiment in 2015.
