Abstract
Most of today's connectionist networks hold the information in the weights of the connections, the synapses (see Error Back Propagation, Hopfield-Net, Neocognitron). In contrast to these models NEUNET is a fully self organizing network. Its information is represented only in its overall structure, which is adopted dynamically through new ‘experiences’ and a special type of persistent activation-states (the so-called stamps) of the units.
The goal of this paper is to give an overview of the NEUNET-algorithms as well as of its theoretical background. The main part is dedicated to a new probability-based approach which does significantly improve the capabilities of NEUNET. Some characteristic examples are given for illustrating applications in pattern recognition with autoassociative recall. In addition to a presentation of the current state of development of NEUNET a description of prospects of future work is given.
