Spontaneous representation of numerosity zero in a deep neural network for visual object recognition

Summary: Conceiving “nothing” as a numerical value zero is considered a sophisticated numerical capability that humans share with cognitively advanced animals. We demonstrate that representation of zero spontaneously emerges in a deep learning neural network without any number training. As a signatu...
