We present a general encoding-decoding framework for interpreting the activity of a population of units. A standard population code interpretation method, the Poisson model, start...
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...
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...
We have combined an artificial neural network (ANN) character classifier with context-driven search over character segmentation, word segmentation, and word recognition hypotheses...
A central theme of computational vision research has been the realization that reliable estimation of local scene properties requires propagating measurements across the image. Ma...
Optimal Brain Damage (OBD) is a method for reducing the number of weights in a neural network. OBD estimates the increase in cost function if weights are pruned and is a valid app...

A general feature of the cerebral cortex is its massive interconnectivity-ithas been estimatedanatomically 15 that cortical neurons receive on the order of 10,000 synapses, the ma...
Abstract. In this paper we investigate the feed-forward learning problem. The well-known ill-conditioning which is present in most feed-forward learning problems is shown to be the...
In cellular telephone systems, an important problem is to dynamically allocate the communication resource channels so as to maximize service in a stochastic caller environment. Th...
