Hopfield Neural Networks
Abstract:
Neural networks are an approach to information processing inspired
by biological neural systems. Neural networks are characterized by many
simple processing elements connected by weighted pathways. There are
many types of networks; they may be generally classified by the pattern
of connections among the elements and the way in which the weights are
determined. After a brief overview of the field, this talk will focus
on the
properties and applications of the networks known as Hopfield Neural
Networks, introduced by the prominent Caltech physicist John Hopfield.
