Abstract

We consider a neural network with adapting synapses whose dynamics can be analitically computed. The model is made of NN neurons and each of them is connected to KK input neurons chosen at random in the network. The synapses are nn-states variables which evolve in time according to Stochastic Learning rules; a parallel stochastic dynamics is assumed for neurons. Since the network maintains the same dynamics whether it is engaged in computation or in learning new memories, a very low probability of synaptic transitions is assumed. In the limit NN\to\infty with KK large and finite, the correlations of neurons and synapses can be neglected and the dynamics can be analitically calculated by flow equations for the macroscopic parameters of the system.
