Abstract
We present a connectionist method for representing images that explicitly addresses their hierarchical nature. It blends data from neuroscience about whole-object viewpoint sensitive cells in inferotemporal cortex(8) and attentional basis-field modulation in V4(3) with ideas about hierarchical descriptions based on microfeatures.(5,11) The resulting model makes critical use of bottom-up and top-down pathways for analysis and synthesis.(6) We illustrate the model with a simple example of representing information about faces.
