Hinton basically seems to be using the same kind of architecture as Edelman, in that you have both bottom-up and top-down streams of information (or I often just call this feed-forward and feed-back to keep the terminology more consistent with other stuff), with multiple sensory heirachies being integrated using a bidirectional associative method similar to the idea of re-entry. To some extent the system isn't just passively observing the environment but is also trying to impose order upon its observations from the top down (the feed-forward part).
I tried and tried but never figured out what Edelman meant by "re-entry". Can somebody explain it? ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?list_id=303
