Abstract

In this paper, a neural network named fuzzy self-organizing incremental neural network (fuzzy SOINN) is presented for fuzzy clustering with following four characteristics: fuzzy, incremental learning, topological representation and resistance to noise. No predefined structures of clusters is required due to the self-adjusting nodes and edges which fit the learning data incrementally. A removal of nodes and edges promises the robustness of the network to the noisy data. Experiments on artificial and real-world data prove the validity of the clustering method.
