Ackley, Hinton and Sejnowski: a learning algorithm for Boltzmann machines

Introduced a stochastic parallel-network learning rule derived from statistical-mechanical search, adjusting connection strengths so that the network learns internal representations of task constraints.

What is recorded here?

Introduced a stochastic parallel-network learning rule derived from statistical-mechanical search, adjusting connection strengths so that the network learns internal representations of task constraints.

Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.

Scientific scope

The record is the exact 1985 Cognitive Science paper. Hopfield networks, simulated annealing, later restricted Boltzmann machines, deep belief networks and modern energy-based models remain separate.
