The growing self-organizing map (GSOM) offers advantages for knowledge discovery by using a spread factor to control map dimensionality and enable hierarchical clustering. This method efficiently analyzes large datasets by focusing on significant clusters.

Area of Science:

  • Machine Learning
  • Data Mining
  • Artificial Intelligence

Background:

  • The Self-Organizing Map (SOM) is a powerful tool for data visualization and clustering.
  • Extended versions of SOM, like the Growing Self-Organizing Map (GSOM), aim to enhance its capabilities for complex data analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the Growing Self-Organizing Map (GSOM) algorithm in detail.
  • To investigate the effect and utility of the spread factor in GSOM for data analysis.
  • To demonstrate GSOM's capability for hierarchical clustering and efficient analysis of large datasets.

Main Methods:

  • Detailed presentation of the GSOM algorithm.
  • Investigation of the spread factor's role in controlling map dimensionality and data spread.
