Using Growing hierarchical self-organizing maps for document classification
نویسندگان
چکیده
The self-organizing map has shown to be a stable neural network model for high-dimensional data analysis. However, its applicability is limited by the fact that some knowledge about the data is required to de ne the size of the network. In this paper we present the Growing Hierarchical SOM. This dynamically growing architecture evolves into a hierarchical structure of self-organizing maps according to the c haracteristicsof the input data. Furthermore, each map is expanded until it represents the correspondig subset of the data at a speci c level of granularity. We demonstrate the bene ts of this novel model using a real world example from the text classi cation domain.

Document Classification with Unsupervised Artificial Neural Networks
Text collections may be regarded as an almost perfect application arena for unsupervised neural networks. This is because many operations computers have to perform on text documents are classification tasks based on noisy patterns. In particular we rely on self-organizing maps which produce a map of the document space after their training process. From geography, however, it is known that maps ...
متن کاملA method for multilingual text mining and retrieval using growing hierarchical self-organizing maps
With the increasing amount of multilingual texts in the Internet, multilingual text retrieval techniques have become an important research issue. However, the discovery of relationships between different languages remains an open problem. In this paper we propose a method, which applied the growing hierarchical self-organizing map (GHSOM) model, to discover knowledge from multilingual text docu...
متن کاملRepresentation of Document Archives for Interactive Exploration
Today's information age may be characterized by constant massive production and dissemination of written information. More powerful tools for exploring, searching, and organizing the available mass of information are needed to cope with this situation. In this context the map metaphor for displaying the contents of a document archive in a two-dimensional display has gained increased interest. I...
متن کاملGrowing hierarchical self-organizing map method using category utility
In order to automatically obtain hierarchical knowledge representation from a certain data, an unsupervised learning method has been developed that overcomes two problems of the growing hierarchical self-organizing map (GHSOM) method, which uses the quantization error, the deviation of the input data, as evaluation measure of the growing maps: proper control of the growth process of each map is...

The Self-Organizing Map (SOM) has shown to be a stable neural network model for highdimensional data analysis. However, its applicability is limited by the fact that some knowledge about the data is required to define the size of the network. In this paper the Growing Hierarchical SOM (GHSOM) is proposed. This dynamically growing architecture evolves into a hierarchical structure of self–organi...
