[pdp-discuss] question about unit-group based connectivity

[Brian Monroe]

I was having a hard time figuring out how to implement a layer with unit groups with their own random weight initializations/distributions.  Am I correct in assuming I need to be using a GpFullPrjnSpec (or possibly a GpOneToManyPrjnSpec)?  If this is the case, I did not see any of the example projects that use these specs, nor did I see it discussed in the book, and so it is not clear how to actually implement them.  If this is not the case, what is the easiest way to set up these sub-distributions of weights within a layer?

Thanks for any info.
