The Impact of Labels on Visual Categorisation: a Neural Network Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a computational model of the impact of labels on visual categorisation. The proposed model is based on selforganising maps. The model successfully reproduces the experiments demonstrating the impact of labelling on infant categorisation reported in Plunkett, Hu, and Cohen (2008). Two architectures are explored. Both mimic infant behaviour in both the familiarisation and testing phases of the procedure, using a training regime which involves only single presentations of each stimulus. The model reproduced these results in the absence of a explicit teaching signal and predicts that the observed behaviour in infants is due to a transient form of learning that might lead to the emergence of hierarchically organised categorical structure.

A Neural-Network Approach to the Modeling of the Impact of Market Volatility on Investment
In recent years, authors have focused on modeling and forecasting volatility in financial series it is crucial for the characterization of markets, portfolio optimization and asset valuation. One of the most used methods to forecast market volatility is the linear regression. Nonetheless, the errors in prediction using this approach are often quite high. Hence, continued research is conducted t...
متن کاملAircraft Visual Identification by Neural Networks
In the present paper, an efficient method for three dimensional aircraft pattern recognition is introduced. In this method, a set of simple area based features extracted from silhouette of aerial vehicles are used to recognize an aircraft type from its optical or infrared images taken by a CCD camera or a FLIR sensor. These images can be taken from any direction and distance relative to the fly...

Manifold learning is a dimension reduction method for extracting nonlinear structures of high-dimensional data. Many methods have been introduced for this purpose. Most of these methods usually extract a global manifold for data. However, in many real-world problems, there is not only one global manifold, but also additional information about the objects is shared by a large number of manifolds...

Modelling and forecasting Stock market is a challenging task for economists and engineers since it has a dynamic structure and nonlinear characteristic. This nonlinearity affects the efficiency of the price characteristics. Using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is a proper way to model this nonlinearity and it has been used successfully in one-step-ahead and multi-step-ahead prediction of di...
متن کاملTiming matters: The impact of label synchrony on infant categorisation
The impact of labelling on infant visual categorisation has yielded contradictory outcomes. Some findings indicate a beneficial role while others point to interference effects in the presence of labels. The locus of these divergent outcomes is largely unclear. We explore the hypothesis that the timing of the label is of crucial importance, proposing that synchronous presentation of words and ob...
