The reconciliation of theories of concepts based on prototypes, exemplars, and theory‐like
structures is a longstanding problem in cognitive science. In response to this problem …

Several approaches to implementing symbol‐like representations in neurally plausible
models have been proposed. These approaches include binding through synchrony (Shastri …

A method for selecting a reduced number of model neurons in a neural network includes
generating a first sparse set of non-zero decoding vectors. Each of the decoding vector is …

Current state-of-the-art approaches to computational speech recognition and synthesis are
based on statistical analyses of extremely large data sets. It is currently unknown how these …

As we experience life, we are constantly creating new memories, and the hippocampus
plays an important role in the formation and recall of these episodic memories. This thesis …

Abstract According to Thagard and Stewart (Cogn Sci 35 (1): 1–33, 2011), creativity results
from the combination of neural representations (an idea which Thagard calls 'the …

Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to neural system engineering and,
more particularly, to systems and methods for operating a neural network with a reduced …
