On the Performance of the Nonsynaptic Backpropagation for Training Long-term Cognitive Networks

Long-term Cognitive Networks (LTCNs) are recurrent neural networks for modeling and simulation. Such networks can be trained in a synaptic or nonsynaptic mode according to their goal. Nonsynaptic learning refers to adjusting the transfer function parameters while preserving the weights connecting the neurons. In that regard, the Nonsynaptic Backpropagation (NSBP) algorithm has proven successful in...
