Topology Learning Solved by Extended Objects: a Neural Network Model

Abstract

It is shown that local, extended objects of a metrical topological space shape the receptive fields of competitive neurons to local filters. Self-organized topology learning is then solved with the help of Hebbian learning together with extended objects that provide unique information about neighborhood relations. A topographical map is deduced and is used to speed up further adaptation in a changing environment with the help of Kohonen type learning that teaches the neighbors of winning neurons as well.
