This useful study presents a biologically realistic, large-scale cortical model of the rat's non-barrel somatosensory cortex, investigating synaptic plasticity of excitatory connections under varying ...

To accomplish this, the system uses Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS), a decision-making algorithm famously used by DeepMind’s AlphaGo. At each step, AB-MCTS uses probability models to decide whether ...

Machine learning methods enable computers to learn without being explicitly programmed and have multiple applications, for example, in the improvement of data mining algorithms.
