The SOM reef - A new metaphoric visualization approach for self organizing maps
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper a new tool for visualizing self organizing maps (SOM) for interdisciplinary explorative data analysis is proposed, the SOM reef. By combination of the U-matrix visualization approach with the new introduced fish glyph, the SOM can be displayed as a underwater scenario. Data sets can be visualized in the SOM as swarms of fishes or prototypes. The SOM reef provides (i) a powerful metaphor for comunicating SOM results and (ii) an entertaining interface for exhaustive data exploration.

REEFSOM - A Metaphoric Data Display for Exploratory Data Mining
In this paper we present a new visualization framework incorporating self organizing maps (SOM) and a metaphoric data glyph approach. The combination of data glyph, U-matrix visualization and SOM creates a virtual 3D underwater cartoon environment from an arbitrary data table. The entire system is called REEFSOM (REndering of Emergent Fish SOM) since the environment simulates an underwater scen...
متن کاملFusing Biomedical Multi-modal Data for Exploratory Data Analysis
Data analysis in modern biomedical research has to integrate data from different sources, like microarray, clinical and categorical data, so called multi-modal data. The reef SOM, a metaphoric display, is applied and further improved such that it allows the simultaneous display of biomedical multi-modal data for an exploratory analysis. Visualizations of microarray, clinical, and category data ...
متن کاملVisual 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 ...
