Hierarchical clustering of sensorimotor features

In this paper a method for clustering patterns represented by sets of sensorimotor features is introduced. Sensorimotor features as a biologically inspired representation have proofed to be working for the recognition task, but a method for unsupervised learning of classes from a set of patterns has been missing yet. By utilization of Self-Organizing Maps as a intermediate step, a hierarchy can be build with standard agglomerative clustering methods.
