Abstract
We present a neural network model that learns to find correspondences. The network uses control units that gate feature information from an input to a model layer of neural feature detectors. The control units communicate via a network of lateral connections to coordinate the gating of feature information such that information about spatial feature arrangements can be used for correspondence finding. Using synaptic plasticity to modify the connections amongst control units, we show that the network can learn to find the relevant neighborhood relationship of features in a given class of input patterns. In numerical simulations we show quantitative results on pairs of one-dimensional artificial inputs and preliminary results on two-dimensional natural images. In both cases the system gradually learns the structure of feature neighborhood relations and uses this information to gradually improve in the task of correspondence finding.
