Local inhibition instead of explicit k-winner for spatial pooler

HTM Mini-Columns into Hexagonal Grids!

Or at least some wild conjectures to provoke thought! This post assumes that you are familiar with basic HTM theory and are conversant with the concepts of SDRs and HTM minicolumns. May I be so bold: [HTM%20and%20GRIDS] First - let’s be clear what I am and am not talking about. This is about cells that work by forming regular hexagonal grid structures and are not necessarily the same thing as the “grid cells” that are coding some spatial aspect of the surrounding environment. These grid-fo…

I am proposing to discipline the HTM model with this proposed behavior in the L2/3 cells. Sparsificatin and lateral binding are natural outcomes of this process.
