question about the result

[yuzehui1996]

I am confused about the loss did not decrease at all and the som_result.png was not the same as you showed.Should I change the hyperparameter such as lr or total epochs? Thanks a lot!

Did you wait for the learning to end? During SOM learning, In my code change the hyperparameters to match the epoch. So you can see the desired results at the end of the learning.

If you want to see the results more quickly, reduce the number of trainning data.
You can insert below code, under 66 lines of <main.py>

train_data.train_data = train_data.train_data[:1000]
train_data.train_labels = train_data.train_labels[:1000]

That way, you'll only use 1,000 trainning data.
I hope you get a good result:)

I used all dataset training with a 30x30 grid 👍 I got a good result:

Hi, how can I get the mapping for my test set ?
It contains some images of handwriting and I want to know which cluster or location it belongs to.

[Dotori-HJ]

You can choose the closest one by comparing the weights of trained som with the value of your test data.

probably, pairwise distance will help you.
