I would rather not add a new model class if there is no way to demonstrate that they can solve a non-synthetic task in an example.
I would rather not have the scikit-learn code base turn into a museum of useless algorithms. So +1 for inclusion of a SOM model if it can lead to interesting results in an example such as visualizing the digits manifold. -1 otherwise. -- Olivier ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
