The Self-Organizing Map (SOM) is an efficient tool for visualizing high-dimensional data. In this paper, an intuitive and effective SOM projection method is proposed for mapping high-dimensional data onto the two-dimensional grid structure with a growing self-organizing mechanism. In the learning phase, a growing SOM is trained and the growing cell structure is used as the baseline framework. In the ordination phase, the new projection method is used to map the input vector so that the input data is mapped to the structure of the SOM without having to plot the weight values, resulting in easy visualization of the data. The projection method is demonstrated on four different data sets, including a 118 patent data set and a 399 checical abstract data set related to polymer cements, with promising results and a significantly reduced network size.

<p>Manipulating high-dimensional data is a major research challenge in the field of computer science in recent years. To classify this data, a lot of clustering algorithms have already been proposed. Kohonen self-organizing map (KSOM) is one of them. However, this algorithm has some drawbacks like overlapping clusters and non-linear separability problems. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an improved KSOM (I-KSOM) to reduce the problems that measures distances among objects using EISEN Cosine correlation formula. So far as we know, no previous work has used EISEN Cosine correlation distance measurements to classify high-dimensional data sets. To the robustness of the proposed KSOM, we carry out the experiments on several popular datasets like Iris, Seeds, Glass, Vertebral column, and Wisconsin breast cancer data sets. Our proposed algorithm shows better result compared to the existing original KSOM and another modified KSOM in terms of predictive performance with topographic and quantization error.</p>

The self-organizing feature map (SOFM) has received great attention from researchers in a variety of areas such as engineering sciences, medicine, biology and economics. The topology of these maps is usually based on 1, 2, or 3 dimensions, forming a lattice. This article discusses various aspects of the spherical SOFMs along with examples illustrating its implementation on high-dimensional data. The main advantage of the spherical SOFM is the ability to visualize complex high-dimensional data by encapsulating physical measures of the data within the 3D attributes of its spherical lattice. The article presents the potential of the spherical SOFM to visualize nonlinear data using examples of two chaotic maps, Hénon and Ikeda, with a fractal dimension of 1.2 and 1.7 respectively embedded in 2–5 dimensions.

One of the main tasks in exploratory data analysis is to create an appropriate representation for complex data. In this paper, the problem of creating a representation for observations lying on a low-dimensional manifold embedded in high-dimensional coordinates is considered. We propose a modification of the Self-organizing map (SOM) algorithm that is able to learn the manifold structure in the high-dimensional observation coordinates. Any manifold learning algorithm may be incorporated to the proposed training strategy to guide the map onto the manifold surface instead of becoming trapped in local minima. In this paper, the Locally linear embedding algorithm is adopted. We use the proposed method successfully on several data sets with manifold geometry including an illustrative example of a surface as well as image data. We also show with other experiments that the advantage of the method over the basic SOM is restricted to this specific type of data.

Os mapas auto-organizáveis (SOFM) consistem em um tipo de rede neural artificial que permite a conversão de dados de alta dimensão, complexos e não lineares, em simples relações geométricas com baixa dimensionalidade. Este método também pode ser utilizado para a classificação de imagens de sensoriamento remoto, pois permite a compressão de dados de alta dimensão preservando as relações topológicas dos dados primários. Este trabalho objetiva desenvolver uma metodologia eficaz para a utilização de mapas auto-organizáveis na detecção de mudanças. No presente estudo o SOFM é utilizado para a classificação não supervisionada de dados de sensoriamento remoto, considerando os seguintes atributos: espaciais (x, y), espectrais e temporais. O método é empregado na região oeste da Bahia, que teve recentemente um aumento significativo em monoculturas. Testes foram realizados com os parâmetros do SOFM com o objetivo de refinar o mapa de detecção demudanças. O SOFM possibilita uma melhor seleção de células e dos correspondentes vetores de peso, que mostram o processo de ordenação e agrupamento hierárquicodos dados. Esta informação é essencial para identificar mudanças ao longo do tempo. Um programa em linguagem C ++ do método proposto foi desenvolvido. ABSTRACT. Self-organizing feature maps (SOFM) consist of a type of artificial neural network that allows the conversion from high-dimensional data into simple geometric relationships with low-dimensionality. This method can also be used for classification of remote sensing images because it allows the compression of high dimensional data while preserving the most important topological and metric relationships of the primary data. This paper aims to develop an effective methodology forusing self-organizing maps in change detection. In this study, SOFM is used for unsupervised classification of remote sensing data, considering the following attributes: spatial (x and y), spectral and temporal. The method is tested and simulated in the western region of Bahia that has observed a significant increase in mechanized agriculture. Tests were performed with the SOFM parameters for the purpose of fine tuning a change detection map. The SOFM provides the best selection of cell and corresponding adjustment of weight vectors, which show the process of ordering and hierarchical clustering of the data. This information is essential to identify changes over time. All algorithms were implemented in C++ language.Keywords: unsupervised classification; land cover; multitemporal analysis; remote sensing
