Hi, I need to develop a flash tutorial on Self organizing maps (in neural networks) to make people understand it easily. I need some good example so that even a beginner can understand it easily. Please help me with some examples, links with simple examples.

Thanks in advance

Kohonen SOM Maps: Normalizing the input with unknown range

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
According to "Introduction to Neural Networks with Java By Jeff Heaton", the input to the Kohonen neural network must be the values between -1 and 1. It is possible to normalize inputs where the range is known beforehand: For instance RGB (125, 125, 125) where the range is know as values 0 and 255: 1… >>> More
