DDGM: Solving inverse problems by Diffusive Denoising of Gradient-based Minimization
A recent trend is to train a convolutional net to denoise images, and use this net as a prior when solving the inverse problem.
Stacked unsupervised learning with a network architecture found by supervised meta-learning
We regard such dependence of unsupervised learning on prior knowledge implicit in network architecture as biologically plausible, and analogous to the dependence of brain architecture on evolutionary history.
Kernel similarity matching with Hebbian neural networks
Recent works have derived neural networks with online correlation-based learning rules to perform \textit{kernel similarity matching}.
Sensitivity of sparse codes to image distortions
We show empirically with the MNIST dataset that sparse codes can be very sensitive to image distortions, a behavior that may hinder invariant object recognition.
Large-scale image segmentation based on distributed clustering algorithms
Many approaches to 3D image segmentation are based on hierarchical clustering of supervoxels into image regions.

Convolutional nets have been shown to achieve state-of-the-art accuracy in many biomedical image analysis tasks.
Reconstructing neuronal anatomy from whole-brain images
Reconstructing multiple molecularly defined neurons from individual brains and across multiple brain regions can reveal organizational principles of the nervous system.
Convergence of gradient descent-ascent analyzed as a Newtonian dynamical system with dissipation
A previous convergence theorem due to Kose and Uzawa required the payoff function to be convex in the descent variables, and concave in the ascent variables.
Sample Variance Decay in Randomly Initialized ReLU Networks
Before training a neural net, a classic rule of thumb is to randomly initialize the weights so the variance of activations is preserved across layers.
Learning Metric Graphs for Neuron Segmentation In Electron Microscopy Images
Both empirically and theoretically, it is unclear whether or when deep metric learning is superior to the more conventional approach of directly predicting an affinity graph with a convolutional net.

Two "correlation games" for a nonlinear network with Hebbian excitatory neurons and anti-Hebbian inhibitory neurons
A combination of Legendre and Lagrangian duality yields a zero-sum continuous game between excitatory and inhibitory connections that is solved by the neural network.

Image Segmentation by Size-Dependent Single Linkage Clustering of a Watershed Basin Graph
We present a method for hierarchical image segmentation that defines a disaffinity graph on the image, over-segments it into watershed basins, defines a new graph on the basins, and then merges basins with a modified, size-dependent version of single linkage clustering.

Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) has previously been shown to be a useful decomposition for multivariate data.
Learning Generative Models with the Up Propagation Algorithm
Up-propagation is an algorithm for inverting and learning neural network generative models Sensory input is processed by inverting a model that generates patterns from hidden variables using topdown connections The inversion process is iterative utilizing a negative feedback loop that depends on an error signal propagated by bottomup connections The error signal is also used to learn the generative model from examples The algorithm is benchmarked against principal component analysis in experiments on images of handwritten digits.
