The components in the generative model then give a representation of the data. Such a representation can then be used in such tasks as compression, denoising, and pattern recognition. This approach is also useful from a neuroscientific viewpoint, for modeling the properties of neurons in primary sensory areas. In this chapter, we consider a certain...
