CHAOS, SELF-ORGANIZATION & MULTI-MODULAR ARCHITECTURES
Book Review of Murre on Categorization

Abstract

In his book Learning and Categorization in Modular Neural Networks (1992a), Murre proposes a building block for neural networks based on unsupervised learning. In this commentary, I will present results of research which extends Murre's approach. It will be shown that this new work may solve some of the problems former reviewers have exposed.
