Inductive Bias : It is a set of assumptions learner uses to predict results for unseen inputs. Every machine learning algorithm that is trained for generalization purpose has inductive bias. For example, linear regression model assumes that output Y is linearly dependent on input X. This introduces bias in the training called inductive bias. Similarly for SVM, inductive bias is: the classes are separated by large margin. Please refer to website for knowing inductive biases of other machine learning algorithms.

Self Organizing Maps :
-
Self organizing maps(SOM) are special type of neural network used for unsupervised feature learning. SOM falls into the category of non-linear dimensionality reduction methods.
-
Unlike normal neural network that apply error-correcting learning algorithm(e.g. backpropagation with gradient descent), SOM apply competitive learning algorithms.
