Abstract

Sammon's mapping is a well-known procedure for mapping data from a higher-dimensional space onto a lower-dimensional one. But the original algorithm has a disadvantage. It lacks generalization, which means that new points cannot be added to the obtained map without recalculating it. The SAMANN neural network, that realizes Sammon's algorithm, provides a generalization capability of projecting new data. A drawback of using SAMANN is that the training process is extremely slow. One of the ways of speeding up the neural network training process is to use parallel computing. In this paper, we proposed some parallel realizations of the SAMANN.
