The self-organizing Maps (SOM) introduced by Kohonen implement two important operations: vector quantization (VQ) and a topology-preserving mapping. In this paper, an online self-organizing topological tree (SOTT) with faster learning is proposed. A new learning rule delivers the efficiency and topo...
