    Description of Visual Explorations in Finance

    This volume, edited by Guido Deboeck, a well-known exponent of the use of computational intelligence methods in finance, and by Teuvo Kohonen, the originator of self-organizing maps (SOM), provides a leading edge look at improved methods for data mining and data visualization.

    Aimed at business, financial and marketing professionals, this book is essential reading for all practitioners of knowledge management, data mining or the use of neural networks for finding novel structures and patterns in data.

    Many issues in finance, economics and marketing require dealing with multi-dimensional data. The use of SOM is a neural network technique, invented by Teuvo Kohonen, that creates reduced visual displays of multi-dimensions. SOM have been applied with great success in engineering and many other technical fields.
