[1709.08568] The Consciousness Prior --> Computer Science > Machine Learning arXiv:1709.08568 (cs) [Submitted on 25 Sep 2017 ( v1 ), last revised 2 Dec 2019 (this version, v2)] Title: The Consciousness Prior Authors: Yoshua Bengio View a PDF of the paper titled The Consciousness Prior, by Yoshua Bengio View PDF Abstract: A new prior is proposed for learning representations of high-level concepts of the kind we manipulate with language. This prior can be combined with other priors in order to help disentangling abstract factors from each other. It is inspired by cognitive neuroscience theories
