Large Deviations Approach to Random Recurrent Neuronal Networks: Parameter Inference and Fluctuation-Induced Transitions
arXiv:2009.08889 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.127.158302
Abstract
We here unify the field theoretical approach to neuronal networks with large deviations theory. For a prototypical random recurrent network model with continuous-valued units, we show that the effective action is identical to the rate function and derive the latter using field theory. This rate function takes the form of a Kullback-Leibler divergence which enables data-driven inference of model parameters and calculation of fluctuations beyond mean-field theory. Lastly, we expose a regime with fluctuation-induced transitions between mean-field solutions.
