We distinguish between two main types of model: predictive and explanatory. It is argued (in the absence of models that predict on unseen data) that in order for a model to increas...
The paper presents a new reinforcement learning mechanism for spiking neural networks. The algorithm is derived for networks of stochastic integrate-and-fire neurons, but it can ...
Abstract. While injecting fault during training has long been demonstrated as an effective method to improve fault tolerance of a neural network, not much theoretical work has been...
In this paper, learning algorithm for a single multiplicative spiking neuron (MSN) is proposed and tested for various applications where a multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural netwo...
