A method for inferring patterns in multi-dimensional image data comprises providing a recursive network of sub-networks with a parent feature node and at least two child feature nodes; wherein each sub-network is associated with a distinct subset of the space; configuring nodes of the sub-networks with posterior distribution component; receiving image data feature input at the final child feature nodes; propagating node activation through the network layer hierarchy in a manner consistent with node connections of sub-networks of the network and the posterior prediction of child nodes; and outputting parent feature node selection to an inferred output.

System and method for a recursive cortical network

A system for teaching compositionality to convolutional neural networks includes an unmasked convolutional neural network comprising a first set of convolutional neural network layers; a first masked convolutional neural network comprising a second set of convolutional neural network layers; the unmasked convolutional neural network and the first masked convolutional network sharing convolutional neural network weights; the system training the unmasked and first masked convolutional neural networks simultaneously based on an objective function that seeks to reduce both discriminative loss and compositional loss.

A system includes: a recursively architected network of sub-networks organized into a hierarchical layers; the sub-networks including at least a parent feature node, a pool node, a parent-specific child feature (PSCF) node, and a child feature node; the parent feature node of at least one sub-network configured with a selection function actionable on at least two pool nodes connected to the parent feature node of the at least one sub-network; the pool node of the at least one sub-network configured with a selection function actionable on at least two PSCF nodes connected to the pool node of the at least one sub-network; the PSCF node of the at least one sub-network configured to activate a connected child feature node; the child feature node connectable to at least a parent feature node of a sub-network at a lower hierarchical layer.

A method for generating patterns with a network includes providing a recursive network of sub-networks with a parent feature node and at least two child feature nodes; and at a first sub-network of the recursive network, the first sub-network including the parent feature node and the at least two child feature nodes, selecting a first pool node and a second pool node consistent with a selection function of the parent feature node, selecting at least a first parent-specific child feature (PSCF) node that corresponds to a first child feature node of the sub-network, selecting at least a second parent-specific child feature (PSCF) node that corresponds to a second child feature node of the sub-network; and compiling the state of final child feature nodes, including the first and second child feature nodes, of the network into a generated output.
