Where this comes from

Abstract

A simple means of differentiating between syntactic and statistical pattern recognition is that, while both deal with feature sets, syntactic methods also include relationships among the features. In this paper we describe a pulse-coupled neural network (PCNN), which operates syntactically to produce icons that are ideal for statistical pattern recognition.
