Development and usage of self-organising maps in high energy physics analysis with high performance computing / Mohd Adli Md Ali

The Self-Organizing Map (SOM) was put forward by Teuvo Kohonen in 1982 as a computational technique to produce a set of globally ordered quantized vectors. At the present time, it is regarded as one of the primary machine learning techniques to perform unsupervised clustering analysis on a large...
