Abstract

For the retrieval dynamics of sparsely coded attractor associative memory models with synaptic noise the inclusion of a macroscopic time-dependent threshold is studied. It is shown that if the threshold is chosen appropriately as a function of the cross-talk noise and of the activity of the memorized patterns, adapting itself automatically in the course of the time evolution, an autonomous functioning of the model is guaranteed. This self-control mechanism considerably improves the quality of the fixed-point retrieval dynamics, in particular the storage capacity, the basins of attraction and the mutual information content.
