Dear Nathan, Your description of the kind of neural-net scheme needs more detail before I can give any more particular direction. It leaves a huge amount of possibilities. For example, is your neural net similar to hierarchical network of abstract facts, being build by agents, whereas the agent's

Diederik, Thanks for your reply - I agree that I left out the details. I'll try to give a brief description - please bear in mind that this is, as you say, just vapour, subject to change. The sort of network I'm looking for is based on the 'fire together, wire together' principle - it's

in general, how do we indicate the odd one out of that set? Sure it's obvious that the color is important in this case - but I see two circles and that the square is more similar to the circle(s) because of the higher number of sides. Therefor the triangle is the odd one. What rules does an

Good point. I think it will test the ability of the NN to distinguish between different types of features. In the example I gave, the fact that there are three different shapes, not two, or that the shapes are not divided into three of one kind and one of the other, is pertinent information, if
