A stable biologically motivated learning mechanism for visual feature extraction to handle facial categorization.

The brain mechanism of extracting visual features for recognizing various objects has consistently been a controversial issue in computational models of object recognition. To extract visual features, we introduce a new, biologically motivated model for facial categorization, which is an extension o...
