Kohonen Network
While not the first of its kind, the Self-Organizing Map is a form of artificial neural network that became useful because of its use in visualizing and analyzing high-dimensional data on a low-dimensional scale. It gained its common name, the Kohonen Network, after a Finnish professor by the name of Teuvo Kohonen introduced it to the world .
What made it different from early neural network models is the fact that in these early neural network models, the self-organizing power was weak; thus this made the Kohonen Network crucial is that is composed no less than two interacting subsystems which are different in ...
