Neural network-type data processing system recognizing a predetermined shape using inhibitory connections

摘要

A data processing system of the neural network type. The system recognizes a predetermined shape by providing some connections that are inhibitory between a plurality of neurons in a neural layer of the neural network. If data is found in the inhibitory area, it makes it harder for the neurons in the correct area to fire. Only when the neurons in the correct area fire is the predetermined shape recognized.
