A new approach to unsupervised learning

Evolving technologies have brought about an explosion of information in recent years, but the question of how such information might be effectively harvested, archived, and analyzed remains a monumental challenge--for the processing of such information is often fraught with the need for conceptual interpretation: a relatively simple task for humans, yet an arduous one for computers.

Inspired by the relative success of existing popular research on self-organizing neural networks for data clustering and feature extraction, "Unsupervised Learning: A...
