Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs):Proposed RMIP Diagnosis W. J. Gutowski, Jr. Iowa State University with thanks to: H. Wei, F. Otieno, Z. Pan, R. W. Arritt, E. S. Takle RMIP (December 2001)
Outline • Background • Example 1: Precipitation simulation versus observations • Example 2: RMIP sea-level pressure behavior • Summary RMIP (December 2001)
Self-Organizing Maps: Background • Set of maps • Show characteristic data structures • Trained to distribution of data • Give 2-D projection of higher order • map space • Are approximately continuous • Basis in Artificial Neural Nets
Compare sample to ... … existing set
Find closest map ...(here - smallest RMS difference) … and it nudge toward sample
Nudge also a surrounding region ... … that decreases with iteration
Nudge also a surrounding region ... … that decreases with iteration
