LEARNING IN THE RECURRENT RANDOM NEURAL NETWORK

The capacity to learn from examples is one of the most desirable features of neural network models. We present a learning algorithm for the recurrent random network model (Gelenbe 1989, 1990) using gradient descent of a quadratic error function. The analytical properties of the model lead to a ''backpropagation'' type algorithm that requires the solution of a system of n linear and n nonlinear equations each time the n-neuron network ''learns'' a new input-output pair.
