Description
This book deals with the most popular artificial neural network algorithm in the unsupervised-learning category, viz. the self-organizing map (SOM). As this book is the main monograph on the subject, it discusses all the relevant aspects ranging from the history, motivation, fundamentals, theory, variants, advances, and applications, to the hardware of the SOMs. An extensive literature survey of over 2000 contemporary studies is also included. Thus, answers to the most frequently asked questions relating to this topic can be found in this volume.
