Forming sparse representations by local anti-Hebbian learning

P. Fiildihk
TL;DR: It is shown here that a layer of simple Hebbian units connected by modifiable anti-Hebbian feed-back connections can learn to code a set of patterns in such a way that statistical dependency between the elements of the representation is reduced, while information is preserved.

A cellular system for pattern recognition using associative neural networks

TL;DR: The aim of the system is to transform an initial symbolic description of a pattern to a correspondent object level representation, and a hierarchical approach for the description of the structure of the patterns is followed.

Low-level aspects of segmentation and recognition.

TL;DR: It is shown how globally salient structures can be extracted from a contour image based on geometrical attributes, including smoothness and contour length, and how the problem can be overcome by using the linear combinations of a small number of two-dimensional object views.

A Neural Model of Episodic and Semantic Spatiotemporal Memory

TL;DR: The model achieves this property by measuring the degree of match, G, between the current input pattern on each time slice and the expected input given the preceding time slices and adding an amount of noise, inversely proportional to G, to the process of choosing the internal representation for the current time slice.

A modular attractor associative memory with patchy connectivity and weight pruning.

TL;DR: This report investigates the performance of a modular attractor network with recurrent connections similar to the cortical long-range connections extending in the horizontal direction, and introduces a new technique to prune the connectivity, which enhances the storage capacity up to the asymptotic value.

Theory of Optical Information Storage in Solids

TL;DR: The theory of three-dimensional optical storage lends support to Beurle’s proposed mechanism of information storage in the brain, and makes three- dimensional storage very suitable for associative memories.

Holographic Model of Temporal Recall

TL;DR: It is shown that there is at least one other mathematical model, which is considered to be a closer analogue of holography, because it operates with triple products of the temporal function to be recognized or recalled.

Improved holographic model of temporal recall.

TL;DR: The modified static system described here is an alternative to Longuet-Higgins' model and takes account of the weaknesses of the nervous system as well as of its powers to imitate human memory with models.

The Classification of Modifiable Synapses and Their Use In Models For Conditioning

TL;DR: It is argued that if the conditioning and memory mechanisms of the nervous system store information by means of modifiable synapses, some of these must be of class B or C, and if the models are to be given the property of extinction, classical conditioning requires modifiablesynapses of classes A and B or of class C.
