Statistical mechanics of neural networks
- Abstract:
-
We investigate five different problems in the field of the statistical mechanics of neural networks.
The first three problems involve attractor neural networks that optimise particular cost functions for storage of static memories as attractors of the neural dynamics. We study the effects of replica symmetry breaking (RSB) and attempt to find algorithms that will produce the optimal network if error-free storage is impossible.
For the Gardner-Derrida network we show that ful...
