Figure 5 A part of the evolving SOM tree illustrating the mutation operation in structure evolution. Mutation in structure evolution amounts to taking one step up or down (the direction is selected randomly) along a randomly selected branch of the tree. To select the direction, an integer ¥ is selected randomly from the set {—1,1} for each node. The node undergoing the mutation is replaced with its parent node, if 3 < 0 or is split into children, if ¥ > 0. Fig. 5 illustrates the mutation operation in structure evolution.
