Abstract representations emerge naturally in neural networks trained to perform multiple tasks

Posted by klaurent Columbia

Kavli Affiliate: Stefano Fusi | Authors: W. Jeffrey Johnston and Stefano Fusi | Summary: Humans and other animals demonstrate a remarkable ability to generalize knowledge across distinct contexts and objects during natural behavior. We posit that this ability to generalize arises from a specific representational geometry, that we call abstract and that is referred to […]
