Sandscapes: self-modifying energy landscapes with emergent branching and flips
Nacer Eddine Boukacem, Madhav Mani, Paul François
Energy landscapes provide a common framework for describing learning, embryonic development, and collective dynamics. Although such landscapes may evolve over time, their dynamics…

A Waddington landscape for prototype learning in generalized Hopfield networks
Nacer Eddine Boukacem, Allen Leary, Robin Thériault +3
Networks in machine learning offer examples of complex high-dimensional dynamical systems reminiscent of biological systems. Here, we study the learning dynamics of Generalized Hop…
