The SOMs are also known as "Kohonen Maps" after their inventor, Academy Professor Teuvo Kohonen, who will give an opening lecture in the beginning of the course (Sept. 14, 14:15). The SOM is one of the main research topics of the Neural Networks Research Centre and the Laboratory of Computer and Information Science; for more information see http://www.cis.hut.fi/.
The seminar covers the state of the art of SOM research and applications. It is based on articles from the top researchers on SOM, collected in the new book "Kohonen Maps" (Editors: E. Oja & S. Kaski, Elsevier, Amsterdam, 1999). More details of the book can be found on the Web page of the course. There will be some books available in the laboratory. Additionally, the book "Self-Organizing Maps" (T. Kohonen, Springer, Berlin, 2nd Ed. 1997) is recommended although not necessary for the seminar. It is by far the most comprehensive treatment of SOMs.
Your task is to present the paper in such a way that the audience can understand the topic based on your presentation (at least in principle...) Some words of advice that may be useful:
