CHAPTER 8
Cortical Algorithms
If you just have a single problem to solve, then fine, go ahead and use a neural network. But if you want to do science and understand how to choose architectures, or how to go to a new problem, you have to understand what different architectures can and cannot do.
—Marvin Minsky1
Computational models inspired by the structural and functional properties of the human brain have seen impressive gains since the mid-1980s, owing to significant discoveries in neuroscience and advancements in computing technology. Among these models, cortical algorithms (CAs) have emerged as a biologically inspired approach, modeled after ...
