A novel SOM-based approach to full-text mining
-- WEBSOM demo for newsgroup exploration

Welcome to test the document exploration tool WEBSOM. An ordered map
of the information space is provided: similar documents lie near each
other on the map. The order helps in finding related documents once
any interesting document is found.

Currently a demo for browsing the 4900 articles that have appeared in
the Usenet newsgroup comp.ai.neural-nets since 19.6.1995 is available
in the WWW address

http://websom.hut.fi/websom/

The WEBSOM home pages also contain an article describing the WEBSOM
method and documentation of the demo. The demonstration requires a
graphical WWW browser (such as Mosaic or Netscape), but the
documentation can be read also with other browsers.
