In the standard formalization of supervised learning problems, a datum is represented as a vector of features without prior knowledge about relationships among features. However, ...
The ability to grow extra nodes is a potentially useful facility for a self-organising neural network. A network that can add nodes into its map space can approximate the input sp...

In this paper we present a method for learning classspecific
features for recognition. Recently a greedy layerwise
procedure was proposed to initialize weights of deep
belief ne...

Several authors have noticed that the common representation of images as vectors is sub-optimal. The process of vectorization eliminates spatial relations between some of the near...
We use unsupervised probabilistic machine learning ideas to try to explain the kinds of learning observed in real neurons, the goal being to connect abstract principles of self-or...
