Multiple Kernel Self-Organizing Maps

چکیده
In a number of real-life applications, the user is interested in analyzing several sources of information together: a graph combined with the additional information known on its nodes, numerical variables measured on individuals and factors describing these individuals... The combination of all sources of information can help him to understand the dataset in its whole better. The present article focuses on such an issue, by using self-organizing maps. The use a kernel version of the algorithm allows us to combine various types of information and automatically tune the data combination. This approach is illustrated on a simulated example.

Reduction of JPEG Compression Artifacts by Kernel Regression and Probabilistic Self-Organizing Maps
There is a wide range of methods for lossy compression, but among those most used we find JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) for still images. In this paper we present an intelligent system which is capable of restoring a compressed JPEG image by combining the knowledge extracted from the image domain and the transformed domain. It is based on probabilistic self-organizing maps and functio...
متن کاملSparse Online Self-Organizing Maps for Large Relational Data
During the last decades, self-organizing maps were proven to be useful tools for exploring data. While the original algorithm was designed for numerical vectors, the data became more and more complex, being frequently too rich to be described by a fixed set of numerical attributes. Several extensions of the original SOM were proposed in the literature for handling kernel or dissimilarity data. ...
متن کاملReconstructing Self Organizing Maps as Spider Graphs for better visual interpretation of large unstructured datasets
-Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) are popular unsupervised artificial neural network used to reduce dimensions and visualize data. Visual interpretation from Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) has been limited due to grid approach of data representation, which makes inter-scenario analysis impossible. The paper proposes a new way to structure SOM. This model reconstructs SOM to show strength between variable...
متن کاملSpecial 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...
متن کاملClustering with Kernel-Based Self-Organized Maps trained with Supervised Bias
Self-Organized Maps (SOMs) are a popular approach for clustering data. However, most SOM based approaches ignore prior knowledge about potential categories. Also, Self Organized Map (SOM) based approaches usually develop topographic maps with disjoint and uniform activation regions that correspond to a hard clustering of the patterns at their nodes. We present a novel Self-Organizing map, the K...
