A self-organizing map (SOM) is a bit hard to describe. Briefly, a SOM is a data structure that allows you to investigate the structure of a set of data. If you have data without class labels, a SOM ...

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have enabled the application of broad-scale sequencing in microbial biodiversity and metagenome studies. Biodiversity is usually targeted by classifying ...

ABSTRACT: This paper demonstrates how self-organizing maps (SOMs) can be used to evaluate the large-scale environment, in particular the synoptic circulation associated with widespread temperature ...
