- It turns out, as I'm slowly finding out, that a CA net is a
type of attractor net.
- The most commonly known type of attractor net is a Hopfield
net.
- There's a really good book by Dan Amit Modelling Brain Function:
the World of Attractor Nets on this topic.
- You can use mean field analysis to find the capacity of a
net, and the size of the attractor basins.
- They don't really understand how learning works.
- They don't really understand about fatigue.
- They don't really understand about sparse patterns,
- but for categorisation of a single input, this
theory can really help.
