3. Intelligent Database Systems Lab N.Y.U.S.T. I. M. Motivation The traditional SOM is slower than TurSOM and need for post-processing methods for cluster identification. 3

4. Intelligent Database Systems Lab N.Y.U.S.T. I. M. Objective To present a new variant of the SOM algorithm that utilizes two forms of selforganization:1) neurons, as in the classical Kohonen algorithm and 2) connections, as presented in Turing's model of Unorganized Machines. 4

12. Intelligent Database Systems Lab N.Y.U.S.T. I. M. Conclusion MAJOR CINTRIBUTION  TurSOM displays behavior of a highly efficient SOM, in terms of both time and computational expense.  The TurSOM algorithm is applicable in a varying number of fields, just like the traditional SOM, but TurSOM lends itself more so to image processing and segmentation.  No post-processing methods are required in addition to TurSOM to detect distinct patterns, unlike other SOM algorithms, due to TurSOM‘s connection reorganization methods. FUTURE WORK  To take connection reorganization to scale (n-dimensional SOM networks). 12
