Self-Organizing Maps on non-euclidean Spaces In Kohonen Maps (1999), pp. 97-108 by Helge Ritter
@incollection{ritter-1999,
abstract = {{INTRODUCTION}  The {Self-Organizing} Map, as introduced by Kohonen more than a decade ago, has stimulated an enormous body of work in a broad range of applied and theoretical fields, including pattern recognition, brain theory, biological modeling, mathematics, signal processing, data mining and many more [8]. Much of this impressive success is owed to the combination of elegant simplicity in the {SOM}'s algorithmic formulation, together with a high ability to produce useful answers for a wide variety of applied data processing tasks and even to provide a good model of important aspects of structure formation processes in neural systems. While the applications of the {SOM} are extremely wide-spread, the majority of uses still follow the original motivation of the {SOM}: to create dimension-reduced "feature maps" for various uses, most prominently perhaps for the purpose of data visualization. The suitability of the {SOM} for this task has been analyzed in great detail and linked to earlier},
