We address in this paper the question of how the knowledge of the marginal distribution P(x) can be incorporated in a learning algorithm. We suggest three theoretical methods for ...

We consider situations where training data is abundant and computing resources are comparatively scarce. We argue that suitably designed online learning algorithms asymptotically ...

According to the current standard model, neurons in lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) operate linearly. There is, however, ample evidence that LGN responses are nonlinear. To accou...
