Abstract

This book introduces a new neural network model for categorization and learning in neural networks based on ideas from neurobiology, psychology, and engineering. CALM (Categorizing And Learning Module)is both modular and modulatory. It is argued that modularity is important in overcoming many of the problems and limitations of current neural networks.

Keywords
