No Neuron Left Behind: A genetic approach to higher precision topological mapping of self-organizing maps

Self-organizing maps are extremely useful in the field of pattern recognition. They become less useful, however, when neurons fail to activate during training. This phenomenon occurs when neurons are initialized in areas of non-input and are far enough away from the input data to never move toward t...
