Electrical synapses for a pooling layer of the convolutional neural network in retinas
Yoshihiko Tsukamoto
Abstract:We have an example of a synergetic effect between neuroscience and connectome via artificial intelligence. The invention of Neocognitron, a machine learning algorithm, was inspired by the visual cortical circuitry for complex cells to be made by combinations of simple cells, which uses a hierarchical convolutional neural network (CNN). The CNN machine learning algorithm is powerful in classifying neuron borderlines on electron micrograph images for automatized connectomic analysis. CNN is also useful as a func… Show more
