PROPRE is a generic and semi-supervised neural learning paradigm that extracts meaningful concepts of multimodal data flows based on predictability across modalities. It consists on the combination of two computational paradigms. First, a topological projection of each data flow on a self-organizing map (SOM) to reduce input dimension. Second, each SOM activity is used to predict activities in ...

Self-organizing maps (SOM) are widely used for their topology preservation property: neighboring input vectors are quantified (or classified) either on the same location or on neighbor ones on a predefined grid. SOM are also widely used for their more classical vector quantization property. We show in this paper that using SOM instead of the more classical Simple Competitive Learning (SCL) algo...

The self-organizing map (SOM), as a kind of unsupervised neural network, has been used for both static data management and dynamic data analysis. To further exploit its search abilities, in this paper we propose an SOM-based algorithm (SOMS) for optimization problems involving both static and dynamic functions. Furthermore, a new SOM weight updating rule is proposed to enhance the learning effi...

. This paper devoted to an iris recognition system (IRS) designed using 2D-Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) features and Self Organizing Map (SOM) and Radial Basis Function (RBF) which are an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) used as classifier. DCT is used for feature extraction to capture essential details. SOM and RBF are applied for classification with different functional paradigms. With resp...

In this paper we test the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) on the problem of predicting chaotic time-series (speciically Mackey-Glass series) with local linear models deened separately for each of the prototype vectors of the SOM. We see that the method achieves good results. This together with the capabilities of the SOM make it a valuable tool in exploratory data mining.

In this paper, we proposed a hybrid system to combine the self-organizing map (SOM) of neural network with case-based reasoning (CBR) method, for sales forecast of new released books. CBR systems have been successfully used in several domains of artificial intelligence. In order to enhance efficiency and capability of CBR systems, we connected the SOM method to deal with cluster problems of CBR...

In order to control a prostheses by means of biological nerve signals, a self-organizing map (SOM) has been used to classify nerve signals recorded by a regeneration type neurosensor. The trained SOM contains the information about the relation between the recorded nerve signal and the winning neuron of the SOM. Classes of nerve signals red by de ned axons can be found in cluster on the SOM. For...

A method for discrimination and classification of breast cancer dataset with benign and malignant tissues is proposed using Independent Component Analysis (ICA) and Self Organizing Map (SOM). The method implement ICA for preprocessing and data reduction and SOM for data analysis. The best performance was obtained with ICASOM, resulting in 98.8% classification accuracy and a SOM result is 94.9%.
