  • Abstract
    In this paper, we propose a new unsupervised learning method based on growing neural gas and using self-assembly rules to build hierarchical structures. Our method named GSoT (Growing Self-organizing Trees) depicts data in topological and hierarchical organization. This makes GSoT a good tool for data clustering and knowledge discovery. Experiments conducted on real data sets demonstrate the good performance of GSoT.
