Class WTALayer

java.lang.Object

org.joone.engine.Layer

org.joone.engine.SimpleLayer

org.joone.engine.WTALayer

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Runnable, Learnable, LearnableLayer, NeuralLayer, Inspectable

public class WTALayer
extends SimpleLayer

This layer implements the Winner Takes All SOM strategy. The layer expects to receive euclidean distances between the previous synapse weights and it's input. The layer simply works out which node is the winner and passes 1.0 for that node and 0.0 for the others.

Constructor Detail

WTALayer

public WTALayer()

The default constructor for this WTALayer.

WTALayer

public WTALayer(java.lang.String ElemName)

The constructor allowing a name to be specified.

Parameters:

ElemName - The name of the Layer

Method Detail

backward

public void backward(double[] pattern)
              throws JooneRuntimeException

No biases need updating or setting. Not implemented / not required.

Parameters:

pattern - The pattern with which to update internal variables. Not required.

Throws:

JooneRuntimeException - The Joone Run time exception.

forward

public void forward(double[] pattern)
             throws JooneRuntimeException

This method accepts an array of values from the input and forwards it according to the Winner Takes All strategy. See class documentation.

Parameters:

pattern -

Should be the euclidean distance between the previous synapse's input vector and weights.

Throws:

JooneRuntimeException - This Exception is a wrapper Exception when an Exception is thrown while doing the maths.
