In this paper a new model of self-organizing neural networks is proposed, A
n algorithm called "double self-organizing feature map" (DSOM) algorithm is
developed to train the novel model, By the DSOM algorithm the network will
adaptively adjust its network structure during the learning phase so as to
make neurons responding to similar stimulus have similar weight vectors an
d spatially move nearer to each other at the same time. The final network s
tructure allows us to visualize high-dimensional data as a two-dimensional
scatter plot. The resulting representations allow a straightforward analysi
s of the inherent structure of clusters within the input data. One high-dim
ensional data set is used to test the effectiveness of the proposed neural
networks.
