Examples and How To

Cluster Data with a Self-Organizing Map

Group data by similarity using the Neural Network Clustering App or command-line functions.

Deploy Shallow Neural Network Functions

Simulate and deploy trained shallow neural networks using MATLAB® tools.

Deploy Training of Shallow Neural Networks

Iris Clustering

This example illustrates how a self-organizing map neural network can cluster iris flowers into classes topologically, providing insight into the types of flowers and a useful tool for further analysis.

Gene Expression Analysis

This example demonstrates looking for patterns in gene expression profiles in baker's yeast using neural networks.

One-Dimensional Self-organizing Map

Neurons in a 2-D layer learn to represent different regions of the input space where input vectors occur.

Two-Dimensional Self-organizing Map

As in one-dimensional problems, this self-organizing map will learn to represent different regions of the input space where input vectors occur.

Concepts

Cluster with Self-Organizing Map Neural Network

Use self-organizing feature maps (SOFM) to classify input vectors according to how they are grouped in the input space.
