Learning Synaptic Clusters for Nonlinear Dendritic Processing

摘要

Nonlinear dendritic processing appears to be a feature of biological neuronsand would also be of use in many applications of artificial neuralnetworks. This paper presents a model of an initially standard linearnode which uses unsupervised learning to find clusters of inputs withinwhich inactivity at one synapse can occlude the activity at the othersynapses.
