“
Spiking neural networks (SNNs) are models which explicitly take into account the timing of inputs. The network input and output are usually represented as series of spikes (delta function or more complex shapes). SNNs have an advantage of being able to process information in the time domain (signals that vary over time). They are often implemented as recurrent networks. SNNs are also a form of pulse computer.

Networks of spiking neurons — and the temporal correlations of neural assemblies in such networks — have been used to model figure/ground separation and region linking in the visual system (see e.g. Reitboeck et.al.in Haken and Stadler: Synergetics of the Brain. Berlin, 1989).

Gerstner and Kistler have a freely available online textbook on Spiking Neuron Models.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann_machine

“A Boltzmann machine is the name given to a type of simulated annealing stochastic recurrent neural network by Geoffrey Hinton and Terry Sejnowski. Boltzmann machines can be seen as the stochastic, generative counterpart of Hopfield nets. They were one of the first examples of a neural network capable of learning internal representations, and are able to represent and (given sufficient time) solve difficult combinatoric problems. However, due to a number of issues discussed below, Boltzmann machines with unconstrained connectivity have not proven useful for practical problems in machine learning or inference. They are still theoretically intriguing, however, due to the locality and Hebbian nature of their training algorithm, as well as their parallelism and the resemblance of their dynamics to simple physical processes. If the connectivity is constrained, the learning can be made efficient enough to be useful for practical problems.“

“The network is run by repeatedly choosing a unit and setting its state according to the above formula. After running for long enough at a certain temperature, the probability of a global state of the network will depend only upon that global state’s energy, according to a Boltzmann distribution. This means that log-probabilities of global states become linear in their energies. This relationship is true when the machine is “at thermal equilibrium“, meaning that the probability distribution of global states has converged. If we start running the network from a high temperature, and gradually decrease it until we reach a thermal equilibrium at a low temperature, we are guaranteed to converge to a distribution where the energy level fluctuates around the global minimum. This process is called simulated annealing.“

great

very appealing to me:

analysis to come later

at one hand, Chinese netizen wonders why China doesn’t have disaster insurance

on the other hand, Warren Buffet in USA concludes the end of disaster insurance party he previously embraced

And his pessimism goes even further by worrying about nuclear bombs along side soaring wind and trembling earth.
