WSOM 2005, Paris Self-Organizing Maps for Time Series

We review a recent extension of the self-organizing map (SOM) for temporal structures with a simple recurrent dynamics leading to sparse representations, which allows an efficient training and a combination with arbitrary lattice structures. We discuss its practical applicability and its theoretical properties. Afterwards, we put the approach into a general framework of recurrent unsupervised m...

P 118: Osteopontin: An Early Player in Neuroinflammation Disease

Osteopontin also known as bone sialoprotein (BSP). Osteopontin role as a linking protein. it is an extracellular structural protein and therefore an organic component of bone. Osteoprontin (OPN) binds to several integrin receptors containing α4β1, α9β1, and α9β4 expressed by leukocytes. These receptors have been well-stable to function in cell adhesion, migratio...
