GClasses::SOM::Reporter Class Reference

Detailed Description

Reports periodically on the training of a self-organizing map - writing status to a stream every so many seconds or iterations, writing visualizations of the network or the network itself to sequentially named files.

TODO: write class for print stream reporters, network writing reporters and visualization writing reporters, and classes for only calling reporters at different intervals

Member Function Documentation

virtual void GClasses::SOM::Reporter::newStatus ( unsigned  iteration, unsigned  subIteration, const GSelfOrganizingMap &  map  )

pure virtual

Tell the reporter the current status of the training.

Implemented in GClasses::SOM::NoReporting, GClasses::SOM::SVG2DWeightReporter, GClasses::SOM::ReporterChain, and GClasses::SOM::IterationIntervalReporter.

virtual void GClasses::SOM::Reporter::start ( const GMatrix *  trainingData, int  maxIterations = -1, int  maxSubIterations = -1  )

inlinevirtual

Reset this reporter to the beginning and tell it that there will be maxIterations iterations each consisting of maxSubIterations sub-iterations. (An iteration count is unknown if given as -1). Give the reporter access to the training data on which the map will be trained. The reporter does not own the training data.

Reimplemented in GClasses::SOM::NoReporting, GClasses::SOM::SVG2DWeightReporter, GClasses::SOM::ReporterChain, and GClasses::SOM::IterationIntervalReporter.

virtual void GClasses::SOM::Reporter::stop ( unsigned  iteration, unsigned  subIteration, const GSelfOrganizingMap &  map  )

inlinevirtual

Tell the reporter that the training has stopped at the given iteration and sub-iteration.

Reimplemented in GClasses::SOM::NoReporting, GClasses::SOM::SVG2DWeightReporter, GClasses::SOM::ReporterChain, and GClasses::SOM::IterationIntervalReporter.
