Hopfield Network

A Hopfield network is a form of recurrent artificial neural network invented by John Hopfield. Hopfield nets serve as content-addressable memory systems with binary threshold nodes. They are guaranteed to converge to a local minimum, but convergence to one of the stored patterns is not guaranteed. Furthermore, Hopfield networks provide a model for understanding human memory.

Famous quotes containing the word network:

    Of what use, however, is a general certainty that an insect will not walk with his head hindmost, when what you need to know is the play of inward stimulus that sends him hither and thither in a network of possible paths?
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
