Abstract:

All applications presented in the previous chapters applied self-organizing maps to reducing quantitative, numeric data. This chapter shows how textual information can be treated in a similar way and how self-organizing maps can help in more effective retrieval of information than current search engines. The use of WEBSOM is a novel method for organizing collections of text documents into maps, for browsing and exploring links on the World Wide Web, or for organization of electronic messages or files.
