Special Issue on Advances in Self-organizing Maps

It has been 17 years since the first Workshop on Self-organizing Maps (WSOM) was held in Helsinki, Finland in 1997, under the leadership of Teuvo Kohonen. The workshop brings together researchers and practitioners in the field of self-organizing systems and related areas. The 9th WSOMwas held for the first time in LatinAmerica, at the Universidad de Chile, Santiago, Chile, on December 2012. Thi...

Editorial: Special Issue on Self-Reconfiguring Modular Robots

This Special Issue contains 13 papers that cover the most recent advances in the area of self-reconfiguring modular robots. Self-reconfiguring robots are modular robots that can change their morphology and topology. Each module is a robot by itself. These systems promise great flexibility compared to fixed-shape robots. By keeping the design of each individual module relatively simple and throu...

The main aim of this study is to develop part-of-speech tagger for Afaan Oromo language. After reviewing literatures on Afaan Oromo grammars and identifying tagset and word categories, the study adopted Hidden Markov Model (HMM) approach and has implemented unigram and bigram models of Viterbi algorithm. Unigram model is used to understand word ambiguity in the language, while bigram model is u...
