Time topology for the self-organizing map
Panu Juhani Somervuo · 2003
Time information of the input data is used for evaluating the goodness of the self-organizing map to store and represent temporal feature vector sequences. A new node neighborhood is defined for the map which takes the temporal order of the input samples into account. A connection is created between those two map modes which are the best-matching units for two successive input samples in time. This results in the time-topology preserving network.
