Abstract
A data processing apparatus may utilize an artificial neuron network configured to reduce dimensionality of input data using a sparse transformation configured using receptive field structure of network units. Output of the network may be analyzed for temporally persistency that is characterized by similarity matrix. Elements of the matrix may be incremented when present activity unit activity at a preceding frame. The similarity matrix may be partitioned based on a distance measure for a given element of the matrix and its closest neighbors. Stability of learning of temporally proximal patterns may be greatly improved as the similarity matrix is learned independently of the partitioning operation. Partitioning of the similarity matrix using the methodology of the disclosure may be performed online, e.g., contemporaneously with the encoding and/or similarity matrix construction, thereby enabling learning of new features in the input data.
