Abstract
PolyTope ARTMAP (PTAM) [6] is an ART neural network based on internal categories with irregular polytope (polygon in IRn) geometry. Categories in PTAM do not overlap, so that their expansion is limited by the other categories, and not by the category size. This makes the vigilance parameter unnecessary. What happens if categories have irregular geometries but overlap is allowed? This paper presents Overlapping PTAM (OPTAM), an alternative to PTAM based on polytope overlapping categories, which tries to answer this question. The comparison between the two approaches in classification tasks shows that category overlap does not reduce neither the classification error nor the number of categories, and it also requires vigilance as a tuning parameter. Futhermore, OPTAM provides a significant variability in the results among different data sets.
