Recently, Self Organizing Maps have been a popular approach to analyze gene expression data. Our paper presents an improved SOM-based algorithm called Supervised Network Self Organizing Map (sNet-SOM), which overcomes the main drawbacks of existing techniques by adaptively determining the number of clusters with a dynamic extension process and integrating unsupcrvised and supervised learning in an effort to make use of prior knowledge on data. The process is driven by an inhomogeneous measure that balances unsupervised/supervised learning and model complexity criteria. Multiple models are dynamically constructed by the algorithm, each corresponding to an unsupervised/supervised balance, model selection criteria being used to select the optimum one. The design allows us to effectively utilize multiple functional class labeling. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2003.
