Sparseness and Expansion in Sensory Representations
In several sensory pathways, input stimuli project to sparsely active downstream populations that have more neurons than incoming axons. Here, we address the computational benefits of expansion and sparseness for clustered inputs, where different clusters represent behaviorally distinct stimuli and intracluster variability represents sensory or neuronal noise. Through analytical calculations an...
متن کاملImage De-Quantizing via Enforcing Sparseness in Overcomplete Representations
We describe a method for removing quantization artifacts (de-quantizing) in the image domain, by enforcing a high degree of sparseness in its representation with an overcomplete oriented pyramid. For this purpose we devise a linear operator that returns the minimum L2-norm image preserving a set of significant coefficients, and estimate the original by minimizing the cardinality of that subset,...
متن کاملcompactifications and representations of transformation semigroups
this thesis deals essentially (but not from all aspects) with the extension of the notion of semigroup compactification and the construction of a general theory of semitopological nonaffine (affine) transformation semigroup compactifications. it determines those compactification which are universal with respect to some algebric or topological properties. as an application of the theory, it is i...
15 صفحه اولSparseness, Immanence, and Naturalness
In the past fifteen years or so there has been a lot of attention paid to theories of “sparse” universals, particularly because of the work of D. M. Armstrong. These theories are of particular interest to those of us concerned with the distinction between natural and non-natural properties, since, as David Lewis has observed, it seems possible to analyze naturalness in terms of sparse universal...
متن کاملGauging sensory representations in the brain
The stream of information that enters a sensory system is a product of the ecological niche and the way in which the information is sampled. The most salient feature of this sensory stream is rich temporal structure caused by changes in the environment and self-motion of sensors (e.g. rapid eye or whisker movements). Recent years have seen substantial progress in understanding how such rapidly ...
