Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Conference Paper Description
Deep learning methods have been developed for handwritten digit classification. However, these methods work as black-boxes' and need large training data. In this study, an explainable feature extraction method is developed for handwritten digit classification. The features of the digit image include horizontal, vertical, and orthogonal lines as well as full or semi-circles. In our proposed method, such features are extracted using 10 neurons as computational units. Specifically, the neurons store the features through network training and store them inside the neurons in a non-synaptic memory manner. Following that, the trained neurons are used for the retrieval of information from test images to assign them to digit categories. Our method shows an accuracy of 75 % accuracy using 0.016 % of the training data and achieves a high accuracy of 86 % using one epoch of whole training data of the MNIST dataset. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first model that stores information inside a few single neurons (i.e., non-synaptic memory) instead of storing the information in synapses of connected feed-forward layers. Due to enabling single neurons to compute individually, it is expected that such a class of neural networks can be combined with synaptic memory architectures that we expect to show higher performance compared to traditional neural networks.
