The Kohonen Algorithm was extended by (a) a coupling between node and
input space based upon gravitational principles and (b) a controlling
mechanism based upon two-point correlation functions. The extended alg
orithm avoids optimization of the learning rate and neighbourhood para
meters and was successfully applied to off-line tasks like invariant m
ass analysis, Delta E particle discrimination and background suppressi
on.
