The proposed approach to image classification is based on learnable higher-order convolutions, inspired by biological visual processing. A Volterra-like expansion of the convolution operator captures multiplicative interactions observed in early and advanced stages of biological visual processing. The model was evaluated on synthetic datasets, showing improved performance compared to traditional CNN baselines.

In simple terms, this research proposes a new way for computers to recognize images, inspired by how our brains work. It uses a special type of convolutional neural network that can capture complex patterns in images, leading to better results than usual methods. The study shows how this approach can be used to improve image classification and provides insights into how our brains process visual information.
