DISCOVERING AND USING INFORMATIVE LOOPING SIGNALS IN A PULSED NEURAL NETWORK HAVING TEMPORAL ENCODERS

摘要

Embodiments are directed to a computer implemented method of implementing a network having pathways. The method includes communicating among a plurality of units through the pathways. The method further includes identifying informative looping signals in loops formed from a plurality of network pathways that connect a first one of the plurality of units to a second one of the plurality of units. The method further includes applying spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP) dependent inhibitory gating to the plurality of network pathways. The method further includes phase shifting open gates and close gates in the loop by applying STDP functions to open gate outputs and closed gates outputs. The method further includes making a rate and a direction of the phase shift dependent on a modulatory signal, wherein the modulatory signal is based at least in part on a change in the STDP-dependent inhibitory gating.

1. A computer implemented method of implementing a network having pathways, the method comprising:
communicating, by a processor, among a plurality of units through the pathways; identifying, by said processor, informative looping signals in loops formed from a plurality of network pathways that connect a first one of said plurality of units to a second one of said plurality of units; applying spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP) dependent inhibitory gating to said plurality of network pathways; phase shifting open gates and close gates in said loop by applying STDP functions to open gate outputs and closed gates outputs; and making at least one of a rate and a direction of said phase shift dependent on a modulatory signal; wherein said modulatory signal is based at least in part on a change in said STDP dependent inhibitory gating.
