[IMP-dev] self-organizing maps

[Yannick Spill <>]

Hi list,

In the light of my recent discovery of the statistics module in imp, I 
was wondering if some of you would be interested in an implementation of 
self-organizing maps (SOM). They are a generalization of principal 
components analysis to nonlinear models.

There's a shortcut for us to have it in IMP. It's called GPLVM, and is a 
probabilistic SOM based on gaussian processes. Is that something that 
would interest anyone?
