Self-organized criticality and the self-organizing map.

چکیده

The self-organizing map (SOM), a biologically inspired, learning algorithm from the field of artificial neural networks, is presented as a self-organized critical (SOC) model of the extremal dynamics family. The SOM's ability to converge to an ordered configuration, independent of the initial state, is known and has been demonstrated, in the one-dimensional case. In this ordered configuration it is now indicated by analysis and shown by simulation that the dynamics of the SOM are critical. By viewing the SOM as a SOC system, alternative interpretations of learning, the organized configuration, and the formation of topographic maps can be made.

Proceedings of the First HKBU - CSD Postgraduate Research Symposium ( PG Day )

In this paper, we show our current work on our Non Self Organizing Multi Agent System (NonSOMAS) and Self Organizing Multi Agent System (SOMAS). Through experiments and analysis, we investigate how Self-Organized Criticality (SOC) phenomena arise in SOMAS rather than in NonSOMAS. Furthermore, we compare the order of agent performance in the two systems and explain its implications.

Extra Dimensions and Self-organizing Criticality A

We discuss a possible explanation of the hierarchy problem within the theories with spacetime dimensions higher than four. We show that the presence of relatively (not hierarchycally) large extra dimensions can significantly alter the evolution of the Higgs field VEV, driving it to an infrared stable fixed point ∼ M W. Such a behaviour results in self-organizing criticality and naturally explai...

Controlling self-organizing dynamics on networks using models that self-organize.

Controlling self-organizing systems is challenging because the system responds to the controller. Here, we develop a model that captures the essential self-organizing mechanisms of Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld (BTW) sandpiles on networks, a self-organized critical (SOC) system. This model enables studying a simple control scheme that determines the frequency of cascades and that shapes systemic risk. We...

Classification of Streaming Fuzzy DEA Using Self-Organizing Map

The classification of fuzzy data is considered as the most challenging areas of data analysis and the complexity of the procedures has been obstacle to the development of new methods for fuzzy data analysis. However, there are significant advances in modeling systems in which fuzzy data are available in the field of mathematical programming. In order to exploit the results of the researches on ...
