Prerequisites

  • Completion of Introduction to ANN (or equivalent)
  • Basic probability theory (Markov chains, Gibbs distribution)
  • Familiarity with optimisation techniques

Overview

Studies attractor neural networks and their applications in associative memory and combinatorial optimisation. Students implement Hopfield Networks for pattern recall and apply them to solve the Travelling Salesman Problem.
