title: Effects of dilation and translation on a perceptron-type learning rule for higher order Hopfield neural networks.
abstract: In this paper, we will take a further look at a generalized perceptron-like learning rule which uses dilation and translation parameters in order to enhance the recall performance of higher order Hopfield neural networks without significantly increasing their complexity. We will practically study the influence of these parameters on the perceptron learning and recall process, using a generalized version of the Hebbian learning rule for initialization. Our analysis will be based on a pattern recognition problem with random patterns. We will see that in case of a highly correlated set of patterns, there can be gained some improvements concerning the learning and recall performance. On the other hand, we will show that the dilation and translation parameters have to be chosen carefully for a positive result.
