On $p$-adic Classification

Machine Learning 2009-12-01 v2

Abstract

A pp-adic modification of the split-LBG classification method is presented in which first clusterings and then cluster centers are computed which locally minimise an energy function. The outcome for a fixed dataset is independent of the prime number pp with finitely many exceptions. The methods are applied to the construction of pp-adic classifiers in the context of learning.
