Pattern recognition using chaotic neural networks (Q1302372)

Summary: Pattern recognition by chaotic neural networks is studied using a hyperchaotic neural network as model. Virtual basins of attraction are introduced around unstable periodic orbits which are then used as patterns. Search for periodic orbits in dynamical systems is treated as a process of pattern recognition. The role of synapses on patterns in chaotic networks is discussed. It is shown that distorted states having only limited information of the patterns are successfully recognized.
