One of the biggest problems facing practical applications of Self-Organising Maps (SOM) is their dependence on the learning rate, the size of the neighbourhood function and the decrease of these parameters as training progresses, all of which have to be selected without firm theoretical guidance. This paper introduces a simple modification to the SOM that completely eliminates the learning rate...

With so much modern music being so widely available both in electronic form and in more traditional physical formats, a great opportunity exists for the development of a general-purpose recognition and music classification system. We describe an ongoing investigation into the subject of musical recognition purely by the sonic content from a standard recording.

The Self-Organizing Map (SOM) [11, 15] is a method for mapping data relationships and distributions in high dimensions to lower dimensions, where they are easier to visualize and process. One of the problems with the SOM is that it needs an externally applied annealing scheme to learn mappings. There is no firm theoretical guidance for selecting annealing schemes and their parameters, something...

The purpose of this study is to focus on the indicators related motivation in Work Mind, and organize concepts by Pile Sort experiments using sentences question items that compose each indicator. By polymerizing personal conceptual system Self-Organizing Map, map Mind with some degree completeness generality drawn. It expected will be a material for getting general picture treated as ruler when...
