Glossary

423

---

A neural network in which the outputs are determined with probability distributions. Trained and

operated using simulated annealing.

Brain−State−in−a−Box

Anderson’s single−layer, laterally connected neural network model. It can work with inputs that have

noise in them or are incomplete.

C

Cauchy machine

Similar to the Boltzmann machine, except that a Cauchy distribution is used for probabilities.

Cognitron

The forerunner to the Neocognitron. A network developed to recognize characters.

Competition

A process in which a winner is selected from a layer of neurons by some criterion. Competition

suggests inhibition reflected in some connection weights being assigned a negative value.

Connection

A means of passing inputs from one neuron to another.
