1.聚类问题与自组织映射
In clustering problems, you want a neural network to group data by similarity. For example: market segmentation done by grouping people according to their buying patterns; data mining(数据挖掘) can be done by partitioning data into related subsets; or bioinformatic analysis such as grouping genes with related expression patterns.
A self-organizing map (selforgmap) consists of a competitive layer which can classify a dataset of vectors with any number of dimensions into as many classes as the layer has neurons. The neurons are arranged in a 2D topology, which allows the layer to form a representation of the distribution and a two-dimensional ap
