A Reservoir Computing Model of Reward-Modulated Motor Learning and Automaticity.

abstract：:The problem of designing input signals for optimal generalization is called active learning. In this article, we give a two-stage sampling scheme for reducing both the bias and variance, and based on this scheme, we propose two active learning methods. One is the multipoint search method applicable to arbitrary models...

abstract：:Lossy compression and clustering fundamentally involve a decision about which features are relevant and which are not. The information bottleneck method (IB) by Tishby, Pereira, and Bialek ( 1999 ) formalized this notion as an information-theoretic optimization problem and proposed an optimal trade-off between throwin...
