Redundancy Maximization as a Principle of Associative Memory Learning in Hopfield Networks
Mark Blümel, Andreas C. Schneider, Valentin Neuhaus +5
Associative memory, traditionally modeled by Hopfield networks, enables the retrieval of previously stored patterns from partial or noisy cues. Yet, the local computational princip…
TeraGram: A Structured Longitudinal Dataset of the Telegram Messenger
Anastasia Golovin, Sebastian B. Mohr, Arne I. Gottwald +5
Here we present a massive longitudinal dataset of public Telegram content, comprising over 5.9 billion messages dating from 2015 to 2025, collected from 712 thousand channels and g…
What should a neuron aim for? Designing local objective functions based on information theory
Andreas C. Schneider, Valentin Neuhaus, David A. Ehrlich +4
In modern deep neural networks, the learning dynamics of the individual neurons is often obscure, as the networks are trained via global optimization. Conversely, biological system…
A General Framework for Interpretable Neural Learning based on Local Information-Theoretic Goal Functions
Abdullah Makkeh, Marcel Graetz, Andreas C. Schneider +3
Despite the impressive performance of biological and artificial networks, an intuitive understanding of how their local learning dynamics contribute to network-level task solutions…
