AbstractThe hierarchical non-negative matrix factorization (HNMF) is a multilayer generative network for decomposing strictly positive data into strictly positive activations and base vectors in a hierarchical manner. However, the standard hierarchical NMF is not suited for overcomplete representations and does not code efficiently for transformations in the input data. Therefore we extend the standard HNMF by sparsity conditions and transformation-invar...

AbstractWe describe the simulation of a layered cortex model based on the cortical column as a generic local processor. It simulates the signal flow in the layers I–IV of a set of model columns across three hierarchical cortical areas. It demonstrates the fast formation of an initial stimulus hypothesis, and its subsequent refinement by inter-columnar communication. In this prototype simulation, we implement word recognition from a string of characters. ...

AbstractWe propose methods that allow the investigation of local modifications of aerodynamic design data represented by discrete unstructured surface meshes. A displacement measure is suggested to evaluate local differences between the shapes. The displacement measure provides information on the amount and direction of surface modifications. Using the displacement measure in conjunction with statistical methods or data mining techniques provides meaning...

AbstractIn visual processing, the cortex very quickly arrives at a hypothesis about the stimulus [1]. Thorpe et al. suggested, that this hypothesis is generated in a feed-forward network, where each feature-selective cell evaluates the order (rank) of incoming spikes [2]. However, to evaluate a rank code, every feature-selective neuron needs a local readout circuit. This is both biologically implausible and expensive to implement. We propose, that post-s...
