Teuvo Kohonen

Teuvo Kohonen is a Finnish scientist best known for his work in artificial intelligence and neuroscience. He developed the Kohonen network, a type of self-organizing map that helps machines learn from data by mimicking how the human brain processes information. This approach allows computers to recognize patterns and categorize information without explicit programming. Kohonen's research has influenced various fields, including data analysis and cognitive science, making it easier for systems to understand complex data in a way similar to human perception. His contributions continue to impact AI developments today.
