This book gathers papers presented at the 13th International Workshop on Self-Organizing Maps, Learning Vector Quantization, Clustering and Data Visualization (WSOM+), which was held in Barcelona, Spain, from the 26th to the 28th of June 2019. Since being founded in 1997, the conference has showcased the state of the art in unsupervised machine learning methods related to the successful and widely used self-organizing map (SOM) method, and extending its scope to clustering and data visualization. In this installment of the AISC series, the reader will find theoretical research on SOM, LVQ and related methods, as well as numerous applications to problems in fields ranging from business and engineering to the life sciences. Given the scope of its coverage, the book will be of interest to machine learning researchers and practitioners in general and, more specifically, to those looking for the latest developments in unsupervised learning and data visualization.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Watermark-DRM, a „soft” copy protection. This means that there are no technical restrictions to prevent illegal distribution. However, there is a personalised watermark embedded in the eBook that can be used to identify the purchaser of the eBook in the event of misuse and to provide evidence for legal purposes.
