A computational model of neural networks was proposed that is a recurrent network of processing units each comprising new models of dendritic trees, synapses, spiking/nonspiking somas, unsupervised/supervised learning mechanisms, and a maximal generalization scheme. The model shows how neural networks encode, learn, memorize, recall and generalize.
In the project, we will test these capabilities and evaluate the model as a learning machine for pattern clustering, detection, recognition and localization on large benchmark data sets. Comparison with prior learning machines will be performed.
