Footnote 23 for (5.2.3.1) Flow of KJ method
If we can determine the "
relationship likelihood" between labels mechanically, we can mechanically generate spatial composition, for example, by using the
self-organizing map algorithm proposed by artificial neural network researcher
Teuvo Kohonen. The algorithm maps from high-dimensional space to 2-dimensional space keeping the distance between items. Also, an algorithm
word2vec proposed by Google researcher
Mikolov et al. in 2013 embed the meaning of words and short sentences into vector space. The advance of those technologies may make the computer possible to support the spatial layout of the
KJ method in the future.
