Advances in Self-Organizing Maps, Learning Vector Quantization, Clustering and Data Visualization

In this collection, the reader can nd recent advancements in self-organizing maps (SOMs) and learning vector quantization (LVQ), including progressive ideas on exploiting features of parallel computing. The collection is balanced in presenting novel theoretical contributions with applied results in traditional elds of SOMs, such as visualization problems and data analysis. Besides, the collection further includes less traditional deployments in trajectory clustering and recent results on exploiting quantum computation. The presented book is worth interest to data analysis and machine learning researchers and practitioners, specically those interested in being updated with current developments in unsupervised learning, data visualization, and self-organization.

Provides recent research in self-organizing maps, learning vector quantization, clustering, and data visualization Presents computational aspects and applications for data mining and visualization Contains refereed papers presented at the 14th International Workshop WSOM+ 2022
