Connectionists: new paper "Neural Relax" by E. Benedetti and M. Budinich

[Marco Budinich]

   Dear Connectionists,
we have a new paper, "Neural Relax", by E. Benedetti and M.B., due to appear in Neural Computation, which some of you could find interesting.

   You can download the preprint at: http://arxiv.org/abs/1107.5472v2 .

Abstract - We present an algorithm for data preprocessing of an associative memory inspired to an electrostatic problem that turns out to have intimate relations with information maximization.

   The central idea is an electrostatics-like force that allows a layer of Perceptrons to find a max info solution minimizing a well shaped energy function. Any comment is most welcome.

Sincerely, Marco Budinich
