Sure. I hope I can explain this clearly.
I have n vectors V that are all observations of the same physical state. Each vector V contains S samples (or features). So I have nS input samples.
Instead of processing all possible connections between nS samples and nS samples (which would be (nS)^2 number of weights) I would like to process each vector V in the same way and extract k samples from each Vector V. Then I would combine the nk samples.
To put numbers in , lets say S=1000 and n=10.
So originally I have 1000*10 input elements. Instead of generating (10,000)^2 weights, I would like to process each 1000-element vector, get it down to 10 points. Then I could combine the 10 points from each processed vector.
One way to do this would be to set the weights connecting vectors equal to zero.
