چکیده
Advances in technology are turning our mobile phones or PDAs into powerful computing devices capable of executing data mining algorithms. This paper discusses how the Self Organizing Map (SOM) algorithm can be adapted to a cooperating network of these devices. This approach opens the door to several new applications of data mining, including active data-collecting devices and ondemand knowledge visualization. Our results show that the method proposed is viable to use in ubiquitous environments.

Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery with Emergent Self-Organizing Feature Maps for Multivariate Time Series
Self-Organizing Feature Maps, when used appropriately, can exhibit emergent phenomena. SOFM with only few neurons limit this ability, therefore Emergent Feature Maps need to have thousands of neu-rons. The structures of Emergent Feature Maps can be visualized using U-Matrix Methods. U-Matrices lead to the construction of self-organzing classiiers possessing the ability to classify new datapoint...

The Self-Organizing Map (SOM) enjoys significant popularity in the field of data mining and visualization. While its topology-preserving mapping allows easier interpretation of complex data, communicating the location of clusters and individual data items as well as memorizing locations are not solved satisfactorily in conventional rectangular maps. In this paper, a variant of self-organizing m...

| Self-organizing maps are a prominent unsuper-vised neural network model providing cluster analysis of high-dimensional input data. However, in spite of enhanced vi-sualization techniques for self-organizing maps, interpreting a trained map proves to be diicult because the features responsible for a speciic cluster assignment are not evident from the resulting map representation. In this paper...
متن کاملCompeting Behavior of Two Kinds of Self-Organizing Maps and Its Application to Clustering
The Self-Organizing Map (SOM) is an unsupervised neural network introduced in the 80’s by Teuvo Kohonen. In this paper, we propose a method of simultaneously using two kinds of SOM whose features are different (the nSOM method). Namely, one is distributed in the area at which input data are concentrated, and the other self-organizes the whole of the input space. The competing behavior of the tw...
