The Effect of Synapses Destruction on Categorization by Neural Networks
Miguel Angel VIRASORO · Europhysics Letters (EPL) · 1988
The probability measure on neural-network interactions introduced by Gardner is used to analyse the effect of a random destruction of synapses in a network that stores ultrametric patterns. At an intermediate level of destruction the retrieval of the pattern is impaired particularly in those items that permit the distinction among exemplars in a class.
