Please suggest to me the latest research papers in which neural networks and other machine learning techniques are used for routing optimization and clustering in Wireless Sensor Networks and/or Internet of Things.
I did some basic work in this area using Elman NNs for traffic prediction. The objective is to deploy traffic prediction software to avoid congestion on the specific nodes by moving the traffic to other nodes before the actual congestion occurs. A sample of some of the references that I used at the time are:

Following the 'cited by' of these references can lead you to more up to date references
Neural networks have solved a wide range of problems and have good learning capabilities. Their strengths include adaptation,ease of implementation, parallelization, speed, and flexibility.
There are two layers(input and competitive layer).
A two - layer feed forward neural network that implements the idea
of competitive learning ,the nodes in the input layer admit input patterns of sensor nodes competing for CH and are fully connected to the output nodes in the competitive layer. Each output node corresponds to a cluster and is associated with weight Wj , j = 1,2,...., m , where m is the number of clusters.
