Adjustment of the basin size in autoassociative memories by use of the BPTT technique

Abstract

An auto-associative memory is constructed in a recurrent network whose connection matrix is determined by use of backpropagation through time (BPTT). Through several computer simulations, basins of the memory generated by this method are compared with those generated by the conventional methods. In particular, the ability of the BPTT to adjust the basin size is investigated in detail.<>
