  • $\begingroup$ The ambiguity you mention is exactly why I was looking for a different word. I was trying to describe a setting in which I had all my robotic data (so, offline), but was updating the network with every data point separately (ie. online). As a side note, I wouldn't say online training of SOMs is more common---it's just conceptually purer or simpler. In fact, according to "Mr. SOM", Teuvo Kohonen himself, batch training in SOMs is faster and safer than online learning[1]. [1] Essentials of the Self-Organizing Map.
