Complexity results for serial decomposability

Classics

Chalasani et al. show that this problem is Korf (1985) presents a method for learning macrooperators in NP, but NPcompleteness is open. Tadepalli (1991a, and shows that the method is applicable 1991b) shows how macro tables are polynomially PAClearnable to serially decomposable problems.



Associative Memory in a Network of `Biological' Neurons

Neural Information Processing Systems

The Hopfield network (Hopfield, 1982,1984) provides a simple model of an associative memory in a neuronal structure. This model, however, is based on highly artificial assumptions, especially the use of formal-two state neurons (Hopfield,1982) or graded-response neurons (Hopfield, 1984).


CAM Storage of Analog Patterns and Continuous Sequences with 3N2 Weights

Neural Information Processing Systems

Box 808 (L-426), Livermore, Ca. 94550 A simple architecture and algorithm for analytically guaranteed associative memorystorage of analog patterns, continuous sequences, and chaotic attractors in the same network is described. A matrix inversion determines network weights, given prototype patterns to be stored.


Dynamics of Learning in Recurrent Feature-Discovery Networks

Neural Information Processing Systems

The self-organization of recurrent feature-discovery networks is studied from the perspective of dynamical systems. Bifurcation theory reveals parameter regimesin which multiple equilibria or limit cycles coexist with the equilibrium at which the networks perform principal component analysis.


Phase-coupling in Two-Dimensional Networks of Interacting Oscillators

Neural Information Processing Systems

Coherent oscillatory activity in large networks of biological or artificial neuralunits may be a useful mechanism for coding information pertaining to a single perceptual object or for detailing regularities within a data set. We consider the dynamics of a large array of simple coupled oscillators under a variety of connection schemes. Of particular interest is the rapid and robust phase-locking that results from a "sparse" scheme where each oscillator is strongly coupled to a tiny, randomly selected, subset of its neighbors.


Stochastic Neurodynamics

Neural Information Processing Systems

The main point of this paper is that stochastic neural networks have a mathematical structure that corresponds quite closely with that of quantum field theory. Neural network Liouvillians and Lagrangians can be derived, just as can spin Hamiltonians and Lagrangians in QFf. It remains to show the efficacy of such a description.


Cholinergic Modulation May Enhance Cortical Associative Memory Function

Neural Information Processing Systems

Combining neuropharmacological experiments with computational modeling, we have shown that cholinergic modulation may enhance associative memory function in piriform (olfactory) cortex. We have shown that the acetylcholine analogue carbachol selectively suppresses synaptic transmission between cells within piriform cortex, while leaving input connections unaffected. When tested in a computational model of piriform cortex, this selective suppression, applied during learning, enhances associative memory performance.
