Abstract
A query-based algorithm is introduced to Kohonen's self-organizing feature maps for finding the best matching neurons with their desire states. It is different from the original self-organization algorithm which finds the best matching neurons with neurons' current states. The proposed method with a batch view of the self-organization process is a variant of Kohonen's algorithm. Thus, it can be applied to solve the data clustering problem with pre-specified input vectors. Moreover, the VLSI circuit placement problem without pre-specified input vectors can also be successfully resolved. Comparisons have been made with the original self-organization algorithm, and shown to be better.>
