ABSTRACT:
Self-organizing circuits to receive input signals from transducers and the like and operable, under guidance from modifying inputs thereto, operate in a learning mode and systems embodying such self-organizing circuits. The circuits include mechanisms to change the modifying inputs based upon Boolean functions and further mechanisms to change the modifying inputs based upon competition among the input signals. Burst, bias, clipping and share circuits have been added to the system for the purpose of improving the "teaching" of the system. The present invention incorporates burst function circuits which amplify the influence of sub-circuits which fire in short bursts or randomly. Bias circuits ensure that sub-circuits fire consistently by specifying the number of other sub-circuits input that will be required to cause the biased sub-circuit to fire. Clipping circuits provide a method by which a sub-circuit will not fire if too many other sub-circuits influence it. Share is a method by like-signed influences on a sub-circuit grow at more nearly uniform rates.
