Visual analysis of self-organizing maps

Abstract: In the article, an additional visualization of self-organizing maps (SOM) has been investigated. The main objective of self-organizing maps is data clustering and their graphical presentation. Opportunities of SOM visualization in four systems (NeNet, SOM-Toolbox, Databionic ESOM and Viscovery SOMine) have been investigated. Each system has its additional tools for visualizing SOM. A comparative analysis has been made for two data sets: Fisher’s iris data set and the economic indices of the European Union coun… Show more

“…The self-organizing maps began to be explored by T. Kohonen as of 1982, however their use is becoming more frequent [13]. The SOM-type networks present unmasked clustering process and perform the training based on the patterns of their spatial organization only in the homology (similarity) of the data, that is, without prior knowledge of the class to which they belong [21].…”

“…Map (SOM) neural networks are a type of exploratory multivariate analysis tool that allows, through artificial computational intelligence, to design high-dimensional data in a smaller dimensional space, without loss of information [12]. This new organization prioritizes maintaining the structure, such as clusters and information relationships [13]. This reinforces its constant use in several…”

“…2.1 Self -Organizing Maps (SOM) -Konohen network Self-Organizing map or SOM, initialized by Professor T. Konohen since the early of 1982s, is undeniably useful clustering tool. Since it was introduced, SOM has been applied widely in Application of self organizing map in construction, geology and petroleum industry Pham Son Tung, Truong Minh Huy, Pham Ba Tuan S various fields such as psychology, economy, medical care, engineering and a vast majority of other professionals [1,3].…”

“…At the beginning of SOM algorithm, weighted vectors in the Konohen network have random values associated with different properties ranging from 0 to 1. After each iteration, these random values will be adjusted to a random input vector chosen from the normalized input data [3]. The number of iterations is usually 500 times bigger than the quantity of network nodes [1].…”

“…Despite lower precision of this package in comparison to Matlab Toolbox, distribution is more smooth and heteroscedastic with all neurons selforganized relatively to each other that is reflected in larger number of similar technological patterns between technologies as on the figure down. Closer structural similarities are reflected in closer topologies, while color reflects strength of connection with red as strongest connection yellow-weaker connection and black shows no connection with neural map [25] (Fig. 6).…”
