A view of neural networks as dynamical systems

B Cessac - International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, 2010 - World Scientific
We present some recent investigations resulting from the modeling of neural networks as
dynamical systems, and deal with the following questions, adressed in the context of specific …

A constructive mean-field analysis of multi population neural networks with random synaptic weights and stochastic inputs

OD Faugeras, JD Touboul, B Cessac - Frontiers in computational …, 2009 - frontiersin.org
We deal with the problem of bridging the gap between two scales in neuronal modeling. At
the first (microscopic) scale, neurons are considered individually and their behavior …

Topological and dynamical complexity of random neural networks

G Wainrib, J Touboul - Physical review letters, 2013 - APS
Random neural networks are dynamical descriptions of randomly interconnected neural
units. These show a phase transition to chaos as a disorder parameter is increased. The …

Theory of gating in recurrent neural networks

K Krishnamurthy, T Can, DJ Schwab - Physical Review X, 2022 - APS
Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) are powerful dynamical models, widely used in machine
learning (ML) and neuroscience. Prior theoretical work has focused on RNNs with additive …

A discrete time neural network model with spiking neurons: rigorous results on the spontaneous dynamics

B Cessac - Journal of Mathematical Biology, 2008 - Springer
We derive rigorous results describing the asymptotic dynamics of a discrete time model of
spiking neurons introduced in Soula et al.(Neural Comput. 18, 1, 2006). Using symbolic …

[PDF][PDF] On random deep weight-tied autoencoders: Exact asymptotic analysis, phase transitions, and implications to training

P Li, PM Nguyen - International Conference on Learning …, 2018 - openreview.net
We study the behavior of weight-tied multilayer vanilla autoencoders under the assumption
of random weights. Via an exact characterization in the limit of large dimensions, our …

On dynamics of integrate-and-fire neural networks with conductance based synapses

B Cessac, T Viéville - Frontiers in computational neuroscience, 2008 - frontiersin.org
We present a mathematical analysis of a networks with Integrate-and-Fire neurons with

Mean-field theory of echo state networks

M Massar, S Massar - Physical Review E—Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft …, 2013 - APS
Dynamical systems driven by strong external signals are ubiquitous in nature and
engineering. Here we study “echo state networks,” networks of a large number of randomly …

Large deviations and mean-field theory for asymmetric random recurrent neural networks

O Moynot, M Samuelides - Probability Theory and Related Fields, 2002 - Springer
In this article, we study the asymptotic dynamics of a noisy discrete time neural network, with
random asymmetric couplings and thresholds. More precisely, we focus our interest on the …
