US Patent 10275705 Systems and methods for generating data explanations for neural networks and related systems

A method for generating data explanations in a recursive cortical network includes receiving a set of evidence data at child feature nodes of a first layer of the recursive cortical network, setting a transformation configuration that directs messaging of evidence data and transformed data between layers of the network, performing a series of transformations on the evidence data according to the transformation configuration, the series including at least one forward transformation and at least one reverse transformation, and outputting the transformed evidence data.
