Capsule Network

[Ed_Pell]

Hinton says nns throw away position information and pose and hence are broken. I agree. He proposes capsule networks, a forced a priory structure. I think the the 5/6 layers of the cortex and their functioning in this regard as explained by Jeff Hawkins and company is less arbitrary and be used for this vision function. No need for capsule networks unless you need to simplify for expediency.

Jeff's Sensorimotor multiple view theory like Hinton's capsule intuition?

http://pinouchon.github.io/ai/2016/04/16/hinton-s-capsule-theory.html I just learned that Hinton has a capsule theory in which he thinks neurons could be organized into capsules that see the same data from different points of view and vote on features that they agree exist. It seems to me that many of the intuitions that go into that way of thinking are already understood in a higher resolution through HTM theory. SDR’s provide the mathematical mechanism of voting on which features exist and i…
