A self-deleting neural network for vector quantization

Vector quantization is required the algorithm that minimizes the distortion error, and used for both storage and transmission of speech and image data. For a neural vector quantization, the self-creating neural network and self-deleting neural network and known for showing fine characters. In this paper, we improve the self-deleting neural network, and propose a generalization algorithm combining the creating and deleting neural networks. We discuss algorithms with neighborhood relations compared with the proposed one. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm
