Learning Continuous Distributions: Simulations With Field Theoretic Priors
Learning of a smooth but nonparametric probability density can be regularized using methods of Quantum Field Theory. We implement a field theoretic prior numerically, test its eff...

Processing of Time Series by Neural Circuits with Biologically Realistic Synaptic Dynamics
Experimental data show that biological synapses behave quite differently from the symbolic synapses in common artificial neural network models. Biological synapses are dynamic, i....

Finding the Key to a Synapse
Experimental data have shown that synapses are heterogeneous: different synapses respond with different sequences of amplitudes of postsynaptic responses to the same spike train. ...

The Use of MDL to Select among Computational Models of Cognition
How should we decide among competing explanations of a cognitive process given limited observations? The problem of model selection is at the heart of progress in cognitive scienc...

Automatic Choice of Dimensionality for PCA
A central issue in principal component analysis (PCA) is choosing the number of principal components to be retained. By interpreting PCA as density estimation, this paper shows ho...

Recognizing Hand-written Digits Using Hierarchical Products of Experts
The product of experts learning procedure [1] can discover a set of stochastic binary features that constitute a non-linear generative model of handwritten images of digits. The q...

Text Classification using String Kernels
We propose a novel approach for categorizing text documents based on the use of a special kernel. The kernel is an inner product in the feature space generated by all subsequences...
