Abstract
Context affects many aspects of the behavior. Natural language understanding is one of the prime examples. This paper summarizes how an artificial neural network, the self-organizing map, can be used in modeling contextuality in data analysis and natural language processing. Important aspects are adaptivity gained by using a learning system, autonomous nature of the processing based on unsupervised learning paradigm, and gradedness of the representation. Examples in the application areas of information retrieval and knowledge management are considered. For instance, the visualization of self-organizing maps provides meaningful context for documents.

Self-Organizing Maps

TL;DR: The Self-Organising Map (SOM) algorithm was introduced by the author in 1981 as mentioned in this paper, and many applications form one of the major approaches to the contemporary artificial neural networks field, and new technologies have already been based on it.

Self-organized formation of topologically correct feature maps

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a self-organizing system in which the signal representations are automatically mapped onto a set of output responses in such a way that the responses acquire the same topological order as that of the primary events.
