Introduction

These pages were designed in the first place for university hypermedia document designing course in spring 1999. The basic idea was to create a somewhat comprehensive documentation on Self-Organizing Map (SOM) type of Artificial Neural Network and to give readers a good focused package of information on the subject in a single hypermedia documentation. One aspect on the design of these pages was to give something for everyone. We wanted to cover the topic in a way that persons not familiar with the Self-Organizing Map ANN will get reasonably good basic knowledge on how the SOM works in general. On the other hand, we also wanted to include more detailed information for those who already consider themselves as 'experts' on this field of science. It is naturally up to the reader to decide whether we have succeeded in this task or not.

Navigation on these pages

The functionality of how to navigate on these pages is divided on two separate 'bars' on the top and to the left side of these pages. On the top bar all the topics currently covered are listed. The reader can jump directly to any topic at any time that he/she finds most interesting. The left bar functions as context sensitive menu which shows all sub-topics related to currently selected main topic.
