| Abstract: | The self-organizing map (SOM) represents an open set of input samples by a topologically organized, finite set of models. In this paper, a new version of the SOM is used for the clustering, organization, and visualization of a large database of symbol sequences (viz. protein sequences). This method combines two principles: the batch computing version of the SOM, and computation of the generalized median of symbol strings. |
