Optimal Information Storage in Noisy Synapses under Resource Constraints
Experimental investigations have revealed that synapses possess interesting and, in some cases, unexpected properties. We propose a theoretical framework that accounts for three of these properties: typical central synapses are noisy, the distribution of synaptic weights among central synapses is wide, and synaptic connectivity between neurons is sparse. We also comment on the possibility that ...
متن کاملOptimal Commitment Policy under Noisy Information ∗
This paper studies an advantage of commitment over discretion when a central bank observes only noisy measures of current inflation and output, in the context of an optimizing model with nominal-price stickiness. Under a commitment regime, if current policy turns out to be too expansionary (contractionary) because of the bank’s information problem, subsequent policies should be slightly contrac...
متن کاملInformation Acquisition Under Resource Limitations in a Noisy Environment
We introduce a theoretical model of information acquisition under resource limitations in a noisy environment. An agent must guess the truth value of a given Boolean formula φ after performing a bounded number of noisy tests of the truth values of variables in the formula. We observe that, in general, the problem of finding an optimal testing strategy for φ is hard, but we suggest a useful heur...
متن کاملPlanning under Resource Constraints
This paper outlines the basic principles underlying reasoning about resources in IPP, which is a classical planner based on planning graphs originally introduced with the graphplan system. The main idea is to deal with resources in a strictly action-centered way, i.e., one speciies how each action consumes or produces resources, but no explicit temporal model is used. This avoids the computatio...
متن کاملResource Allocation under Incentive, Information, and Complexity Constraints
This thesis studies the problem of resource allocation from multiple perspectives under a variety of constraints and objectives. Resource allocation is a central theme in many economic settings (markets, auctions etc.) and, more broadly, is prevalent in almost everything we do (for instance, everyday, we make decisions about allocating our money and time). The problem of resource allocation is ...
