Abstract

In this article a convergence criterion for neural networks of competitive learning alternative to that established by Rumelhart et al. [Rumel86] is presented. With it the number of iterations needed so that the network reaches a stable configuration is reduced to a high degree. The new convergence criterion is based on the network stability measurement in contrast to the weight variation which is defined by Rumelhart et al. Results obtained in a number of realized tests which allow you to evaluate the step number reduction reached when applying the new criterion as contrasted with Rumelharts are shown.
