A directed generative model for binary data using a small number of hidden continuous units is investigated. A clipping nonlinearity distinguishes the model from conventional prin...
A recent neural model of illusory contour formation is based on a distribution of natural shapes traced by particles moving with constant speed in directions given by Brownian mot...
Narayanan and Jurafsky (1998) proposed that human language comprehension can be modeled by treating human comprehenders as Bayesian reasoners, and modeling the comprehension proce...
In this paper we examine the problem of estimating the parameters of a multinomial distribution over a large number of discreteoutcomes,most of which do not appearin the training ...
Symmetrically connected recurrent networks have recently been used as models of a host of neural computations. However, biological neural networks have asymmetrical connections, at...
