A simple HTML5 canvas + JavaScript program that demonstrates the Self-Organizing Map algorithm by using random colours as training vectors.
Source code: coloursom.js
This is something I initially programmed many years ago after taking a course in neural networks. It is an implementation of the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) algorithm which orders input vectors of a high-dimensional space into a two-dimensional grid. A neighbourhood function is used to preserve the topology of the input space.
I used colours given as 3-dimensional RGB vectors as the input data. Thus, the model vectors of the SOM can be represented by different colours. The map is first initialised randomly, but then — as the training proceeds — differently coloured areas appear as similar input vectors are placed near to each other on the 2D grid. The program stops after 1000 iterations. To restart it, just reload the page.
