Training without a supervisor is exercised in the SOM. For training purposes competition mechanisms are applied. When sending a pattern network to input, the neuron with a vector that is the least different from the input pattern wins. The following ratio applies for the winner neuron:

where:

• j — number of winner neuron,
• d(x,w) — distance between x and w vectors.

Euclidean space is most frequently used as distance.
