OSOM: A method for building overlapping topological maps Presenter : Chuang, Kai-TingAuthors : Guillaume Cleuziou*2013, PRL
Outlines • Motivation • Objectives • Methodology • Experiments • Conclusions • Comments
Motivation • Overlapping clustering solutions extract data organizations that are more fitted to the input data than crisp clustering solutions. • Unsupervised neural networks bring efficient solutions to visualize class structures.
Objectives • We present the algorithm O-SOM that uses both an overlapping variant of the k-means clustering algorithm and the well known Kohonenapproach,in order to build overlapping topologic maps. • To solve problems that are recurrent in overlapping clustering: number of clusters, complexity of the algorithm and coherence of the overlaps.
Methodology OSOM SOM
Conclusions • Ensure the algorithm to converge and then bring solutions to the motivationsmentioned: limited complexity, topological correctness, etc.
Comments • Advantages • The OSOM is simple method. • Applications • Topological maps.
