Abstract/Summary

A novel extension to Kohonen's self-organising map, called the plastic self organising map (PSOM), is presented. PSOM is unlike any other network because it only has one phase of operation. The PSOM does not go through a training cycle before testing, like the SOM does and its variants. Each pattern is thus treated identically for all time. The algorithm uses a graph structure to represent data and can add or remove neurons to learn dynamic nonstationary pattern sets. The network is tested on a real world radar application and an artificial nonstationary problem.
