Quasi Biologically Plausible Category Learning

- We, humans and animals, do most of our thinking with neurons.
- All those neurons work by spiking, and there are good computational
models of actual spiking neurons.
- Those neurons are connected by synapses, and those synapses
learn by Hebbian learning.
- So, if you want to do biologically plausible learning, you need to
learn with (unsupervised) Hebbian learning, and compute with spiking
neurons.
- I, however, have taken advantage of the work on balanced networks,
so the topologies that are used are biologically unlikely.
- So, the simulations are just Quasi Biologically Plausible.
