A Growing Self-Organizing Map (GSOM) is an extension of the traditional Self-Organizing Map (SOM), which is a type of artificial neural network used for unsupervised learning. The primary goal of both SOM and GSOM is to reduce the dimensionality of data while preserving the topological properties of the input space and facilitating visualization.
