Abstract
A kernel-based topographic map formation, kMER, was proposed by Van Hulle, and some effective learning rules have been proposed so far with many applications. However, no guide is indicated concerning the determination of the number of units in kMER. This paper describes a units deletion rule, which enables to construct automatically an appropriate-sized map to acquire the global topographic features underlying the input data. The effectiveness of the present rule has been confirmed by some preliminary computer simulations.
