Unsupervised Training
The network is supplied only with inputs and not the expected results, in
“unsupervised or adaptive” training. Then the model must determine its
functionality for grouping the input data. This is often called as "self-
organization or adaptation". Unsupervised learning is not very well
understood at the moment. This adjustment to the surroundings is the
pledge that will allow robots to learn continuously on their own as they
come across new circumstances and unique settings. Real-world is full of
situations wherein there are no training data sets available to resolve a
problem. Some of these scenarios include military intervention, which
could require new fighting techniques as well as arms and ammunition. Due
to this unexpected element of existence and the human desire to be
equipped to handle any situation, ongoing study and hope for this discipline
continue. However, the vast majority of neural network job is currently
carried out in models with supervised learning.

Teuvo Kohonen, an electrical engineer at "Helsinki University of
Technology", is one of the pioneering researchers in the field of

unsupervised training. He has built a self-organizing network, sometimes
referred to as an "auto-associator", which is capable of learning without any
knowledge of the expected outcome. It comprises of a single layer
containing numerous connections in a network that looks unusual. Weights
must be initialized for these connections and the inputs must be normalized.
The neurons are organized in the "winner-take-all fashion". Kohonen is
conducting 
ongoing 
research 
into 
networks 
that 
are
designed differently from the conventional, feed-forward as well as back-
propagation methods. Kohonen's research focuses on the organization of
neurons into the network of the model.
Neurons within a domain are "topologically organized". Topology is
defined as "a branch of mathematics that researches how to map from
one space to another without altering its geometric configuration.
An instance of a topological organization is the three-dimensional
groupings that are common in mammalian brains. Kohonen noted that the
absence of topology in designs of neural networks only makes these
artificial neural networks a simple abstraction of the real neural networks
found in the human brain. Advance self-learning networks could become
feasible as this study progresses.
