This sounds really cool! I'm going to have to read up on SOMs.

 https://github.com/mhwombat/som/wiki (wiki)

 A Kohonen Self-organising Map (SOM) maps input patterns onto a regular grid
 (usually two-dimensional) where each node in the grid is a model of the
 input
 data, and does so using a method which ensures that any topological
 relationships within the input data are also represented in the grid. This
 implementation supports the use of non-numeric patterns.

 In layman's terms, a SOM can be useful when you want to discover the
 underlying structure of some data. I have a brief tutorial in the wiki,
 which I hope to expand over the next few weeks.

 WHAT'S NEW
 - It is now easier to for non-math types to create a SOM (see defaultSOM)
 - Added another example to the wiki
