Generating smooth context-dependent neural representations

چکیده
In many cognitive situations context is speci ed glob ally encompassing the entire duration of an episode but explicitly identi ed only at its initiation Examples of such contexts are social situations spatial environ ments task speci cations etc In many such cases a neural system needs to respond di erently to the same immediate stimulus depending on the global context Clearly the system must be able to switch into di erent response regimes and remain there while the context re mains xed Simultaneously it must remain sensitive to external stimuli and respond to them in a reliable and informative manner In this paper we propose a neurally plausible approach for handling these require ments

Binding and Normalization of Binary Sparse Distributed Representations by Context-Dependent Thinning
Distributed representations were often criticized as inappropriate for encoding of data with a complex structure. However Plate's Holographic Reduced Representations and Kanerva's Binary Spatter Codes are recent schemes that allow on-the-fly encoding of nested compositional structures by real-valued or dense binary vectors of fixed dimensionality. In this paper we consider procedures of the Con...
متن کاملRepresentations of Double Coset Lie Hypergroups
We study the double cosets of a Lie group by a compact Lie subgroup. We show that a Weil formula holds for double coset Lie hypergroups and show that certain representations of the Lie group lift to representations of the double coset Lie hypergroup. We characterize smooth (analytic) vectors of these lifted representations.
متن کاملContext-driven activation of odor representations in the absence of olfactory stimuli in the olfactory bulb and piriform cortex
Sensory neural activity is highly context dependent and shaped by experience and expectation. In the olfactory bulb (OB), the first cerebral relay of olfactory processing, responses to odorants are shaped by previous experiences including contextual information thanks to strong feedback connections. In the present experiment, mice were conditioned to associate an odorant with a visual context a...
متن کاملFast Node Embeddings: Learning Ego-centric Representations
Representation learning is one of the foundations of Deep Learning and allowed important improvements on several Machine Learning tasks, such as Neural Machine Translation, Question Answering and Speech Recognition. Recent works have proposed new methods for learning representations for nodes and edges in graphs. Several of these methods are based on the SkipGram algorithm, and they usually pro...
