abstract = {The parameterless self-organizing map ({PLSOM}) is a new neural network algorithm based on the self-organizing map ({SOM}). It eliminates the need for a learning rate and annealing schemes for learning rate and neighborhood size. We discuss the relative performance of the {PLSOM} and the {SOM} and demonstrate some tasks in which the {SOM} fails but the {PLSOM} performs satisfactory. Finally we discuss some example applications of the {PLSOM} and present a proof of ordering under certain limited conditions.},
