Improved Multidimensional Scaling Analysis Using Neural Networks with Distance-Error Backpropagation

Abstract

We show that neural networks, with a suitable error function for back-propagation, can be successfully used for metric multidimensional scaling (MDS) (i.e., dimensional reduction while trying to preserve the original distances between patterns) and are in fact able to outdo the standard algebraic approach to MDS, known as classical scaling.
