Networks of formal binary neurons can be used to construct associative memory models. Given the fact that real neurons have more complex features we try to find if other cognitive functions can be modeled by adding new degrees of freedom to the formal neuron. We show that complex features can be...

Previous research provided ambiguous results on the association between average student performance and inequality of opportunity measured by the effect of family background on student achievement. In this paper we explore this association distinguishing between inequality of opportunity at the...
