    "title": "Learning as formation of low-dimensional represntation spaces",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Psychophysical findings accumulated over the past several decades indicate that perceptual tasks such as similarity judgment tend to be performed on a low-dimensional representation of the sensory data. Low dimensionality is especially important for learning, as the number of examples required for attaining a given level of performance grows exponentially with the dimensionality of the underlying representation space. Because of this curse of dimensionality, in shape categorization the high initial dimensionality of the sensory data must be reduced by a nontrivial computational process, which, ideally, should capture the intrinsic low-dimensional nature of families of visual shapes. We show how to make a connectionist system use class labels to leam a representation that fulfills this requirement, thereby facilitating shape categorization. Our results indicate that low-dimensional representations are best extracted in a learning task that combines discrimination and generalization constraints.",
