The Self-Organizing Map(SOM) in Pure Javascript

We plan to translate the core methods of SOM algorithm, which is elaborated in "MATLAB Implementations and Applications of the Self-Organizing Map", from MATLAB into javascript.

The implementation will be written in javascript/typescript and could be used in modern browsers and node.js env. It is depended on these libs for matrix and array operations:

###How-to-dev

• There is an example on how to comsume the API which som.js offered. Please find it in ./example/64nodeSOM.js which is also written in ECMAScript 6, run the example by installing babel-node (npm install node-babel -g) and run by node-babel example/64nodeSOM.js.
• ./src is the source code of this npm module (for node.js) written in ECMAScript 6, we choose gulp + bable to compile it into noramal javascript. Run npm compile to start compiling.
