Higher-order Boltzmann machines
T. J. Sejnowski · 1987
The Boltzmann machine is a nonlinear network of stochastic binary processing units that interact pairwise through symmetric connection strengths. In a third-order Boltzmann machine, triples of units interact through symmetric conjunctive interactions. The Boltzmann learning algorithm is generalized to higher-order interactions. The rate of learning for internal representations in a higher-order Boltzmann machine should be much faster than for a second-order Boltzmann machine based on pairwise interactions.
