COMPUTATIONAL METHOD FOR FEEDBACK IN A HIERARCHICAL NEURAL NETWORK

摘要

Feedback within hierarchical neural networks such as hierarchical temporal memories is provided. In various embodiments, a plurality of input streams is received at a first region of a hierarchical artificial neural network. The plurality of input streams is pooled in the first region. One or more recurrent features are identified in the pooled input streams in the first region. A temporal pattern is recognized in the one or more recurrent features in the first region. An indication of the temporal pattern is provided to at least a second region of the hierarchical neural network. A response to a further input is modulated based on feedback from the second region and at least one additional region.
