Recently, there has been an outburst of interest in extending topographic maps of vectorial data to more general data structures, such as sequences or trees. However, at present, ...
Generative topographic mapping (GTM) is a statistical model to extract a hidden smooth manifold from data, like the self-organizing map (SOM). Although a deterministic search algo...
Latent variable models represent the probability density of data in a space of several dimensions in terms of a smaller number of latent, or hidden, variables. A familiar example ...
Topographic maps are a common support for geographical information because they have the particularity to portray the relief through a set of contour lines. This topographic featu...
Topographic paper maps are a common support for geographical information. In the field of document analysis of this kind of support, this paper proposes an automatic approach to ...
