What is Kohonen Feature Map

Handbook of Research on Innovations in Database Technologies and Applications: Current and Future Trends
It is basically a feed forward/feedback type neural net. Built of an input layer(i.e., the neuron of one layer is connected with each neuron of another layer), called “feature map.” The feature map can be one or two dimensional, and each of its neurons is connected to all other neurons on the map. It is mainly used for classification.

Abstract
Expert systems have been applied to many areas of research to handle problems effectively. Designing and implementing an expert system is a difficult job, and it usually takes experimentation and experience to achieve high performance. The important feature of an expert system is that it should be easy to modify. They evolve gradually. This evolutionary or incremental development technique has to be noticed as the dominant methodology in the expert-system area. The simple evolutionary model of an expert system is provided in B. Tomic, J. Jovanovic, & V. Devedzic, 2006. Knowledge acquisition for expert systems poses many problems. Expert systems depend on a human expert to formulate knowledge in symbolic rules. The user can handle the expert systems by updating the rules through user interfaces (J. Jovanovic, D. Gasevic, V. Devedzic, 2004). However, it is almost impossible for an expert to describe knowledge entirely in the form of rules. An expert system may therefore not be able to diagnose a case that the expert is able to. The question is how to extract experience from a set of examples for the use of expert systems.
