Median Topographic Maps for Biomedical Data Sets
نویسندگان
چکیده
Median clustering extends popular neural data analysis methods such as the self-organizing map or neural gas to general data structures given by a dissimilarity matrix only. This offers flexible and robust global data inspection methods which are particularly suited for a variety of data as occurs in biomedical domains. In this chapter, we give an overview about median clustering and its properties and extensions, with a particular focus on efficient implementations adapted to large scale data analysis.

Heteroscedastic Gaussian Kernel-Based Topographic Maps
Several learning algorithms for topographic map formation have been introduced that adopt overlapping activa-tion regions, rather than Voronoiregions, usually in the form of kernel functions. We review and introduce a numberof fixed point rules for training homogeneous, heteroscedastic but otherwise radially-symmetric Gaussian kernel-based topographic maps, or kernel topographic...
متن کاملCorrection of Positional Errors and Geometric Distortions in Topographic Maps and DEMs Using a Rigorous SAR Simulation Technique
In the history of surveying and mapping, a large volumes of topographic maps and digital elevation models have been created at various scales throughout the world. However, positional errors and geometric distortions may exist in the topographic contour maps and their derived DEMs due to inaccurate ground control and poor navigation techniques in the early years. In this paper, we present a new...
متن کاملTopographic maps are fundamental to sensory processing.
In all mammals, much of the neocortex consists of orderly representations or maps of receptor surfaces that are typically topographic at a global level, while being modular at the local level. These representations appear to emerge in development as a result of a few interacting factors, and different aspects of brain maps may be developmentally linked. As a result, evolutionary selection for s...
متن کاملNeural Maps and Topographic Vector Quantization Corresponding Author Running Title
Acknowledgements The authors are grateful to R. Der and T. Martinetz for useful discussions and to the reviewers for valuable comments. Abstract Neural maps combine the representation of data by codebook vectors, like a vector quantizer, with the property of topography, like a continuous function. While the quantization error is simple to compute and to compare between diierent maps, topography...
متن کاملTopographic Maps Based on Kohonen Self Organizing Maps An Empirical Approach
Two-dimensional maps are a valuable interface element for the visualization of information retrieval results or other large sets of objects. Various methods exist for the creation of these maps. This article describes a comparative evaluation of topographic maps based on “Kohonen Self Organizing Maps” (SOM). These results show that the mapping method has to be chosen very carefully and differen...
