It has been suggested that long-range intrinsic connections in striate cortex may play a role in contour extraction (Gilbert et al., 1996). A number of recent physiological and ps...
Real-valued random hidden variables can be useful for modelling latent structure that explains correlations among observed variables. I propose a simple unit that adds zero-mean G...
Support Vector Learning Machines (SVM) are nding application in pattern recognition, regression estimation, and operator inversion for ill-posed problems. Against this very genera...
This paper compares three penalty terms with respect to the efficiency of supervised learning, by using first- and second-order learning algorithms. Our experiments showed that fo...
While on-line handwriting recognition is an area of long-standing and ongoing research, the recent emergence of portable, pen-based computers has focused urgent attention on usabl...
