HySOM

Fast, lightweight Python library for training Self-Organizing Maps on 2D time series, tailored for analyzing concentration-discharge hysteresis loops.

NOTE: Currently, Python 3.14 is not yet supported due to missing precompiled dependencies. Please use Python 3.8–3.13. Support for Python 3.14 will be added shortly.

Overview

HySOM is a Python library that simplifies the training and visualization of Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs) for 2D time series. It is specifically designed for the study of concentration–discharge (C–Q) hysteresis loops. With HySOM, you can access the General T-Q SOM—a standard framework for classifying sediment transport hysteresis loops. The library also includes several visualization tools to streamline the analysis of sediment transport hysteresis loops. Additionally, HySOM allows you to train your own SOM for C–Q analysis.
