System and method for a recursive cortical network

摘要

A method for generating patterns with a network includes providing a recursive network of sub-networks with a parent feature node and at least two child feature nodes; and at a first sub-network of the recursive network, the first sub-network including the parent feature node and the at least two child feature nodes, selecting a first pool node and a second pool node consistent with a selection function of the parent feature node, selecting at least a first parent-specific child feature (PSCF) node that corresponds to a first child feature node of the sub-network, selecting at least a second parent-specific child feature (PSCF) node that corresponds to a second child feature node of the sub-network; and compiling the state of final child feature nodes, including the first and second child feature nodes, of the network into a generated output.

1. A method for generating patterns with a network comprising:
providing a recursive network of sub-networks with a parent feature node and at least two child feature nodes; wherein the parent feature node is an input node and the at least two child feature nodes are output nodes; propagating node selection down the network layer hierarchy in a manner consistent with node connections of sub-networks of the network, propagation within the sub-networks comprising:
at an activated parent feature node of a sub-network, selecting a pool node consistent with a selection function of the parent feature node;at the pool node of a first pool, selecting at least a first parent-specific child feature (PSCF) node that corresponds to a child feature node of the sub-network; andin response to the selection of a first node of the sub-network, enforcing a selection constraint on at least a second node of a second pool according to a lateral constraint node of the sub-network; and compiling the state of final child feature nodes of the network into a generated output.
