very intriguing picture, from: MacKay, D. J. C. and Miller, K. D. (1990),
“Analysis of Linsker’s simulation of Hebbian rules”, Neural Computation, 2:173-187.

Haven’t really looked at that particular paper, but I am reading a lot about Neural Computation and Genetic Algorithms, without really knowing what the plan is:

about neural computation:

  • J. Hertz, A. Krogh, and R. Palmer, “Introduction to the Theory of Neural Computation.” Reading, MA: Addison-Wesley, 1991.
  • James A. Anderson and Edward Rosenfeld (ed.), “Neurocomputing, Foundations of Research”, MIT Press, 1988.
  • R. Linsker, “Self-organization in a perceptual network,” Computer 21(3): 105-117, March 1988.
