Abstract:The Self Organizing Map (SOM) is an unsupervised network algorithm that projects high dimensional data into low dimensional maps. The projection preserves the topology of the data so that similar data items are mapped to nearby locations on the map. The algorithm has been so popular because of its application in Computer Science and other areas; it has been applied in speech recognition, pattern identification, control engineering, earthquake detection et al. This research aimed to apply the SOM in the taxonom… Show more
