Integration of Biologically Inspired Temporal Mechanisms into a Cortical Framework for Sequence Processing
Résumé
Whereas classical connectionist models can hardly cope with difficult dynamic tasks with a strong temporal factor, many temporal mechanisms inspired with neurobiological data has been proposed in the past and yield efficient time processing properties. The goal of this chapter is to show that, beyond these isolated mechanisms, their integration in a more general architectural and functional framework can potentiate their power and make them usable for non trivial behavioral tasks. We propose a cerebral framework, from the neuronal to the behavioral level, and give some applicative illustrations that underline the encouraging results obtained today.
