Fisherface is a popular dimensionality reduction technique in face recognition. The obtained
discriminative subspace, however, may not generalize well to unseen classes, as in the …

In this paper, we propose a conceptual learning algorithm called the'self-organizing
homotopy (SOH)'together with an implementation thereof. As in the case of the SOM, our …

In this paper, we propose a method for multi-task manifold learning. For a set of tasks of
dimensionality reduction, the aim of the method is to model each given dataset as a …

In this paper, a new powerful method in artificial neural networks, called modular network
SOM (mnSOM) is introduced. mnSOM is a generalization of Self Organizing Maps (SOM) …

Classical artificial intelligence (AI) has faced many difficulties such as the symbol grounding
problem (ie providing relationship between symbols and the real world), the embodiment …
