Representation Learning in Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience
What Is Representation Learning Representation learning refers to methods that automatically discover representations of data needed for feature detection or classification tasks [1]. In artificial intelligence, these methods learn transformations of raw input data into forms that make it easier to extract useful information when building classifiers or predictors. The core principle involves learning mappings…
