Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) methods have been popular choices of classification models ever since its introduction by T. Kohonen in the 90s. These days, LVQ is combined with Deep Learning methods to provide powerful yet interpretable machine-learning solutions to some of the most challenging computational problems.
However, techniques to model recurrent relationships in the data using prototype methods still remain quite unsophisticated. In particular, we are not aware of any modification of LVQ that allows the input data to have different lengths. Needless to say, such data is abundant in today's digital world and demands new processing techniques to extract useful information. In this paper, we propose the use of the Siamese architecture to not only model recurrent relationships within the prototypes but also the ability to handle prototypes of various dimensions simultaneously.
