Statistical Mechanics of Neural Computation

J.A. Hertz

NORDITA, BLEGDAMSVEJ 17 2100 COPENHAGEN, DENMARK

Neural computation is a style of computation that draws inspiration from the way the brain computes. It is an in trinsically collective paradigm characterized by high con nectivity among a very large number of simple pro cessors running in parallel, possibly asynchronously. Methods developed in the theory of many-particle systems can be brought to bear on important conceptual questions about the operation and programming of such computational assemblies. This paper reviews several basic problems that arise in this area: the mathematical formulation of the collective computation done by such a network and of algorithms for programming ("teaching") them. The importance of phase transitions for understanding the generic behavior of such systems and algorithms is emphasized.
