Investigating the intrinsic top-down dynamics of deep generative models by Lorenzo Tausani, Alberto Testolin, Marco Zorzi

“…This capability can be linked to current theories in computational neuroscience, which propose that spontaneous brain activity at rest is the manifestation of top-down dynamics of generative models detached from action-perception cycles. A popular class of hierarchical generative models is that of Deep Belief Networks (DBNs), which are energy-based deep learning architectures that can learn multiple levels of representations in a completely unsupervised way exploiting Hebbian-like learning mechanisms. …”

Fall detection method based on spatio-temporal coordinate attention for high-resolution networks by Xiaorui Zhang, Qijian Xie, Wei Sun, Ting Wang

“…The method employs 3D convolutions to extract spatio-temporal features and utilizes gradual down-sampling to generate a multi-resolution sub-network, thus realizing multi-scale fusion and perception enhancement of details. In particular, this study designs a pseudo-3D basic block, which simulates the ability of 3D convolution, to ensure the running speed of the network while controlling the number of parameters. …”
