## Abstract (arXiv)

We discuss a diffusion based implementation of the self-organizing map on the unit hypersphere. We show that this approach can be efficiently implemented using just linear algebra methods, we give a python numpy implementation, and we illustrate the approach using the well known MNIST dataset.
