hmm, yes a little. I like them too =) nearly as simple as a clustering algorithm, but it's a neural net..
So, lets see now..
They use a nifty forward/back/forward training method, which means the network also works as an auto-encoder at each layer..
Training is (roughly) as follows..
L
0a * weights -> L
1a
L
1a * weights' -> L
0b
L
0b * weights -> L
1b
L
0a' * L
1a' -> w
Delta +
L
0b' * L
1b' -> w
Delta -
