[apologies for multiple posting]

10th Workshop on Self-Organizing Maps 2014 -- WSOM 2014
www.WSOM2014.de

will be held in the beautiful small town Mittweida located close to
the mountains Erzgebirge in Saxony/Germany. It will bring together
researchers
and practitioners in the field of self‐organizing systems for data
analysis, with a particular emphasis on self‐organizing maps and
learning
vector quantization. WSOM 2014 is the 10th conference in a series of
biannual international conferences started with WSOM'97 in Helsinki.

SCOPE – TOPICS

We expect contributions related to the theoretical and methodological
aspects of the self‐organizing map, learning vector quantization and related
fields as well as respective applications. Topics include:

• Data analysis and visualization and modelling dynamic phenomena
• Mathematical aspects including information theory and mathematical statistics
• Architectural solutions including hierarchical and growing networks,
ensemble models and special metrics
• Neuro‐cognitive studies that compare modelling and empirical results at
different levels
• Software and hardware implementations
• Outstanding applications emphasizing special aspects of the models

We also call for scientific and practice-oriented papers that describe
the use of self-organizing maps with variants
in different application areas including but not limited to:

• Data mining
• Pattern recognition
• Signal processing
• Knowledge management
• Time series processing
• Industrial applications
• Bioinformatics
• Biomedical applications
• Telecommunications
• Financial analysis
• Cognitive modeling
• Robotics and intelligent systems
• Image processing and vision
• Speech processing
• Language modeling
• Text and document analysis

Submission of papers : November 1st 2013
Notification of provisional acceptance: December 15th 2013
Camera ready papers : January 15th 2014
Early registration (special rates) : February 15th 2014

Submissions can be done via Easychair at
