Visualization of Pareto Solutions by Spherical Self-Organizing Map and It’s acceleration on a GPU

چکیده
In this study, we visualize Pareto-optimum solutions derived from multiple-objective optimization using spherical self-organizing maps (SOMs) that lay out SOM data in three dimensions. There have been a wide range of studies involving plane SOMs where Pareto-optimal solutions are mapped to a plane. However, plane SOMs have an issue that similar data differing in a few specific variables are often placed at far ends of the map, compromising intuitiveness of the visualization. We show in this study that spherical SOMs allow us to find similarities in data otherwise undetectable with plane SOMs. We also implement and evaluate the performance using parallel sphere processing with several GPU environments.

Visualization and Data Mining of Pareto Solutions Using Self-Organizing Map
Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs) have been used to visualize tradeoffs of Pareto solutions in the objective function space for engineering design obtained by Evolutionary Computation. Furthermore, based on the codebook vectors of cluster-averaged values of respective design variables obtained from the SOM, the design variable space is mapped onto another SOM. The resulting SOM generates clusters of ...
متن کاملCreation of Text Document Matrices and Visualization by Self-Organizing Map
In the paper, text mining and visualization by self-organizing map (SOM) are investigated. At first, textual information must be converted into numerical one. The results of text mining and visualization depend on the conversion. So, the influence of some control factors (the common word list and usage of the stemming algorithm) on text mining results, when a document dictionary is created, is ...
متن کاملGlobe of Music - Music Library Visualization Using Geosom
Music collections are commonly represented as plain textual lists of artist, title, album etc. for each contained music track. The large volume of personal music libraries makes them difficult to browse and access for users. In respect to possible information visualization techniques, no established convenient user interfaces exist. By using a spherical self-organizing map algorithm on low leve...

During an 11 days mission in February 2000 the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) collected data over 80% of the Earth's land surface, for all areas between 60 degrees N and 56 degrees S latitude. Since SRTM data became available, many studies utilized them for application in topography and morphometric landscape analysis. Exploiting SRTM data for recognition and extraction of topographic ...
متن کاملPath finding on a spherical SOM using the distance transform and floodplain analysis
Data visualization has become an important tool for analyzing very complex data. In particular, spatial visualization enables users to view data in a intuitive manner. It has typically been used to externalize clusters and their relationships which exist in highly complex multidimensional data. We envisage that not only cluster formation and relationships but also other types of information, su...
