Static and Dynamic Attractors of Auto-associative Neural Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we study the problem of the occurrence of cycles in autoassociative neural networks. We call these cycles dynamic attractors, show when and why they occur and how they can be identi-ed. Of particular interest is the pseudo-inverse network with reduced self-connection. We prove that it has dynamic attractors, which occur with a probability proportional to the number of prototypes and the degree of weight reduction. We show how to predict and avoid them.

A Self-Reconstructing Algorithm for Single and Multiple-Sensor Fault Isolation Based on Auto-Associative Neural Networks
Recently different approaches have been developed in the field of sensor fault diagnostics based on Auto-Associative Neural Network (AANN). In this paper we present a novel algorithm called Self reconstructing Auto-Associative Neural Network (S-AANN) which is able to detect and isolate single faulty sensor via reconstruction. We have also extended the algorithm to be applicable in multiple faul...
متن کاملAnalog-symbolic memory that tracks via reconsolidation
A fundamental part of a computational system is its memory, which is used to store and retrieve data. Classical computer memories rely on the static approach and are very different from human memories. Neural network memories are based on auto-associative attractor dynamics and thus provide a high level of pattern completion. However, they are not used in general computation since there are pra...
متن کاملCould dynamic attractors explain associative prosopagnosia?
Prosopagnosia is one of the many forms of visual associative agnosia, in which familiar faces lose their distinctive association. In the case of prosopagnosia, the ability to recognize familiar faces is lost, due to lesions in the medial occipitotemporal region. In "associative" prosopagnosia, the perceptual system seems adequate to allow for recognition, yet recognition cannot take place. Our ...
متن کاملA Study on Associative Neural Memories
Memory plays a major role in Artificial Neural Networks. Without memory, Neural Network can not be learned itself. One of the primary concepts of memory in neural networks is Associative neural memories. A survey has been made on associative neural memories such as Simple associative memories (SAM), Dynamic associative memories (DAM), Bidirectional Associative memories (BAM), Hopfield memories,...
متن کاملContinuous Attractors in Recurrent Neural Networks and Phase Space Learning
Recurrent networks can be used as associative memories where the stored memories represent fixed points to which the dynamics of the network converges. These networks, however, also can present continuous attractors, as limit cycles and chaotic attractors. The use of these attractors in recurrent networks for the construction of associative memories is argued. Here, we provide a training algori...
