09. August 2021 : A novel approach for training artificial neural networks

Clay V, König P, Kühnberger KU and Pipa G (2021).
Fast concept mapping: The emergence of human abilities in artificial neural networks when learning embodied and self-supervised.
https://arxiv.org/abs/2102.02153 arXiv:2102.02153

Science has proved that humans perceive the world and gradually understand and learn about its underlying concepts by self-supervised interaction and embodiment. By contrast, most artificial neural networks used for object detection and recognition are trained in a...
