Associative learning law

The learning procedure corresponds to a supervised learning process according to an associative learning law, that is. 

The result of unsupervised Kohonen learning, however, can also be used for classification. For this, an additional layer is introduced. The output information trained by the Kohonen net is further trained on the known patterns or class information by means of an associative learning law. After adjustment of the additional weights, the net can be subsequently applied for classifications.
