UK Researchers Make Neural Networks Smarter

Small Hairy Troll writes: "EDTN is running this story concerning a researcher in the UK who has come up with a method for getting those pesky Neural Nets to teach themselves to see. Called the 'Product of Experts,' the Neural Net is built using 'Experts.' If "you had one expert that preferred furry animals, whereas another expert preferred domesticated animals and another preferred small animals, their votes ... would light up dogs and cats very nicely." And an Edinburgh professor is quoted in the story as calling it "the first neural-network architecture that is both sensibly implementable and worth implementing."
