SUMMARY This paper presents a simple learning algorithm for network formation. The algorithm is based on self-organizing maps with growing cell structures and can adapt input data which correspond to nodes of the network. In basic numerical experiments, as a parameter is selected suitably, our algorithm can generate network having small-world-like structure. Such network structure appears in some natural networks and has advantages in practical systems.
