	abstract =	{We propose a new multilayered neural network model which
	has the ability of rapid self-organization. This model is a modified
	version of the cognitron (Fukushima, 1975). It has modifiable
	inhibitory feedback connections, as well as conventional modifiable
	excitatory feedforward connections, between the cells of adjoining
	layers. If a feature-extracting cell in the network is excited by a
	stimulus which is already familiar to the network, the cell immediately
	feeds back inhibitory signals to its presynaptic cells in the preceding
	layer, which suppresses their response.  On the other hand, the
	feature-extracting cell does not respond to an unfamiliar feature, and
	the responses from its presynaptic cells are therefore not suppressed
	because they do not receive any feedback inhibition.  Modifiable
	synapses in the new network are reinforced in a way similar to those in
	the cognitron, and synaptic connections from cells yielding a large
	sustained  output are reinforced. Since familiar stimulus features do
	not elicit a sustained response from the cells of the network, only
	circuits which detect novel features develop. The network therefore
	quickly acquires favorable pattern-selectivity by the mere repetitive
	presentation of a set of learning patterns.},
