    Perceptual abstraction and attention

    Get PDF
    This is a report on the preliminary achievements of WP4 of the IM-CleVeR project on abstraction for cumulative learning, in particular directed to: (1) producing algorithms to develop abstraction features under top-down action influence; (2) algorithms for supporting detection of change in motion pictures; (3) developing attention and vergence control on the basis of locally computed rewards; (4) searching abstract representations suitable for the LCAS framework; (5) developing predictors based on information theory to support novelty detection. The report is organized around these 5 tasks that are part of WP4. We provide a synthetic description of the work done for each task by the partners

    Localist representation can improve efficiency for detection and counting

    Get PDF
    Almost all representations have both distributed and localist aspects, depending upon what properties of the data are being considered. With noisy data, features represented in a localist way can be detected very efficiently, and in binary representations they can be counted more efficiently than those represented in a distributed way. Brains operate in noisy environments, so the localist representation of behaviourally important events is advantageous, and fits what has been found experimentally. Distributed representations require more neurons to perform as efficiently, but they do have greater versatility
