Natural Image Denoising with Convolutional Networks
We present an approach to low-level vision that combines two main ideas: the use of convolutional networks as an image processing architecture and an unsupervised learning procedu...

Offline Handwriting Recognition with Multidimensional Recurrent Neural Networks
Offline handwriting recognition--the transcription of images of handwritten text--is an interesting task, in that it combines computer vision with sequence learning. In most syste...

Nonparametric sparse hierarchical models describe V1 fMRI responses to natural images
We propose a novel hierarchical, nonlinear model that predicts brain activity in area V1 evoked by natural images. In the study reported here brain activity was measured by means ...

Optimal Response Initiation: Why Recent Experience Matters
In most cognitive and motor tasks, speed-accuracy tradeoffs are observed: Individuals can respond slowly and accurately, or quickly yet be prone to errors. Control mechanisms gove...

Linear Classification and Selective Sampling Under Low Noise Conditions
We provide a new analysis of an efficient margin-based algorithm for selective sampling in classification problems. Using the so-called Tsybakov low noise condition to parametrize...

Posterior Consistency of the Silverman g-prior in Bayesian Model Choice
Kernel supervised learning methods can be unified by utilizing the tools from regularization theory. The duality between regularization and prior leads to interpreting regularizat...

Unifying the Sensory and Motor Components of Sensorimotor Adaptation
Adaptation of visually guided reaching movements in novel visuomotor environments (e.g. wearing prism goggles) comprises not only motor adaptation but also substantial sensory ada...

Goal-directed decision making in prefrontal cortex: a computational framework
Research in animal learning and behavioral neuroscience has distinguished between two forms of action control: a habit-based form, which relies on stored action values, and a goal...
