I would like to ask a related question: Has there been any research on
recognizing fractal objects with neural nets? The first thing that
most neural networks do to some input is to apply a distributing
transformation. At first glance this should greatly simplify the
task of correlating the whole object to its parts (one might think
of some measure of self-similarity) and then doing the classification.
