Determination of receptive fields in neural networks using Alopex
- Date Issued:
- 2005
- Summary:
- This research aims at proposing a model for visual pattern recognition inspired by the neural circuitry in the brain. Our attempt is to propose few modifications in the Alopex algorithm and try to use it for the calculations of the receptive fields of neurons in the trained network. We have developed a small-scale, four-layered neural network model for simple character recognition as well as complex image patterns, which can recognize the patterns transformed by affine conversion. Here Alopex algorithm is presented as an iterative and stochastic processing method, which was proposed for optimization of a given cost function over hundreds or thousands of iterations. In this case the receptive fields of the neurons in the output layers are obtained using the Alopex algorithm.
