	abstract = {Kohonen{\textquoteright}s Learning Vector Quantization is a nonparametric classification scheme which classifies observations by comparing then to k; templates called Voronoi vectors. The locations of these vectors are determined from past labeled data through a learning algorithm. When learning is complete, the class of a new observation is the same as the class of the closest Voronoi vector. Hence LVQ is similar to nearest neighbors, except that instead of all of the past observations being searched only the k Voronoi vectors are searched.

In this paper, we show that the LVQ~learning algorithm converges to locally asymptotic stable equilibria of an ordinary differential equation. It is shown that the learning algorithm performs stochastic approximation. Convergence of the vectors is guaranteed under the appropriate conditions on the underlying statistics of the classification problem. We also present a modification to the learning algorithm which results in more robust convergence.},

	abstract = {We examine in detail real-time architectures for the sequential detection and/or estimation problems for diffusion type signals. We demonstrate the fundamental role played by Zaki equation in defining candidate architectures. For scalar and two dimensional state models an architecture based on systolic arrays is derived. For higher dimensional implementation~of the Multigrid algorithm is derived. Properties of the architectures and practical hardware implementation results are also reported.},
