Rethinking Collinearity in Self‐Organizing Maps: Evidence From Geophysical Data Classification
Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract This study examines the impact of collinearity on unsupervised machine learning algorithms (UMLAs), specifically Self‐Organizing Maps (SOMs), for detecting lithological boundaries in geophysical data. Using a multi‐scale experimental framework that includes bivariate isotropic clusters, geologically complex Noddy simulations, and real‐world ...
