abstract = {A neural network model, called a ``neocognitron'', for a
mechanism of visual pattern recognition was proposed earlier, and the
result of computer simulation for a small-scale network was shown. A
neocognitron with a larger-scale network is now simulated on a digital
computer and is shown to have a great capacity for visual pattern
recognition: The neocognitron is a multilayered network consisting of a
cascaded connection of many layers of cells. The information of the
stimulus pattern given to the input layer is processed step by step in
each stage of the multilayered network. A cell in a deeper layer
generally has a tendency to respond selectively to a more complicated
feature of the stimulus patterns and, at the same time, has a larger
receptive field and is less sensitive to shifts in position of the
stimulus patterns. Thus each cell of the deepest layer of the network
responds selectively to a specific stimulus pattern and is not affected
by the distortion in shape or the shift in position of the pattern. The
synapses between the cells in the network are modifiable, and the
neocognitron has a function of learning. A learning-with-a-teacher
process is used to reinforce these modifiable synapses in the new
model, instead of the learning-without-a-teacher process which was
applied to the previous small-scale model.},
