title: Yet another algorithm which can generate topography map.
abstract: This paper presents an algorithm to form a topographic map resembling to the self-organizing map. The idea stems on defining an energy function which reveals the local correlation between neighboring neurons. The larger the value of the energy function, the higher the correlation of the neighborhood neurons. On this account, the proposed algorithm is defined as the gradient ascent of this energy function. Simulations on two-dimensional maps are illustrated.
