Self-organizing Map Formation

Know about the book -

Self-organizing Map Formation is written by Klaus Obermayer and published by MIT Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0262650606 (ISBN 10) and 9780262650601 (ISBN 13).

The book consists of five sections. The first section looks at attempts to model the organization of cortical maps and at the theory and applications of the related artificial neural network algorithms. The second section analyzes topographic maps and their formation via objective functions. The third section discusses cortical maps of stimulus features. The fourth section discusses self-organizing maps for unsupervised data analysis. The fifth section discusses extensions of self-organizing maps, including two surprising applications of mapping algorithms to standard computer science problems: combinatorial optimization and sorting.
