On the Ordering Conditions for Self-Organizing Maps

Abstract

We present a geometric interpretation of ordering in self-organizing feature maps. This view provides simpler proofs of Kohonen ordering theorem and of convergence to an ordered state in the one-dimensional case. At the same time it explains intuitively the origin of the problems in higher dimensional cases. Furthermore it provides a geometric view of the known characteristics of learning in self-organizing nets.
