Abstract
A new computational algorithm, the probing algorithm, is introduced for the subproblem of finding the best matching unit in Kohonen's self-organization procedure (Self-Organization and Associative Memory, Springer-Verlag, 1988). It is compared to exhaustive search and to four other algorithms and shown to be roughly six to 10 times faster for the case of high-dimensional vectors.
