Given that η refers to the learning rate and xᵢ refers to the iᵗʰ input to the neuron, which of the following most suitably describes the weight updation rule of a Kohonen SOM? (where 'j' refers to the jᵗʰ neuron in the lattice)

Pick an option to check yourself, or open the answer below.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A. wij(new) = (1 − η) wij(old) + η · xi

Explanation

The SOM rule moves the winner's weights towards the input: w(new) = w(old) + η[x − w(old)] = (1 − η)w(old) + ηx.
