Title: Direct Multi-Step Time Series Prediction Using TD() Abstract: This paper explores the application of Temporal Difference (TD) learning (Sutton, 1988) to forecasting the behavior of dynamical systems with real-valued outputs (as opposed to game-like situations). The performance of TD learning in comparison to s...

Title: A simple algorithm that discovers efficient perceptual codes Abstract: We describe the "wake-sleep" algorithm that allows a multilayer, unsupervised, neural network to build a hierarchy of representations of sensory input. The network has bottom-up "recognition" connections that are used to convert sensory inp...
