ANALYSIS OF THE SIMULATED ANNEALING METHOD IN CLASSIC BOLTZMANN MACHINES
Peter Grabusts · Environment Technology Resources Proceedings of the International Scientific and Practical Conference · 1997
The paper analyses a model of a neural net proposed by Hinton et al (1985). They have added noise to a Hopfield net and have called it Boltzmann machine (BM) drawing an analogy with the behaviour of physical systems with noises. The concept of simulated annealing is analysed. The experiment aimed at testing the state of thermal equilibrium for a Boltzmann net with three neurons, specified threshold values and weights at two different temperatures, T=1 and T=0,25, is described.
