										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this post we get to see an example of self-organizing map (or SOM) and also see <em>competitive learning</em> in action. This is where one neuron wins at each presentation of input data, and in this way we are able to map a few neurons to large and complex data. The importance of this mapping is that we are able to extract key features of highly complex data in a completely autonomous way.</p>
<p>The video below explains the various components at a high level. If I can explain something better &#8211; please let me know using the comment section below!</p>
