Reviews: Push-pull Feedback Implements Hierarchical Information Retrieval Efficiently

Neural Information Processing Systems 

The manuscript studies the role of feedback connections in pattern retrieval networks. This is done in a hierarchical Hopfield-type network. Then, different types of top-down feedback are investigated. All reviewers found the results interesting. Besides its relevance to modelling of biology, it is also of potential interest for technical applications in hierarchical information retrieval.
