title: Non-homogenous neural networks with chaotic recursive nodes: connectivity and multi-assemblies structures in recursive processing elements architectures.
abstract: This paper addresses recurrent neural architectures based on bifurcating nodes that exhibit chaotic dynamics, with local dynamics defined by first order parametric recursions. In the studied architectures, logistic recursive nodes interact through parametric coupling, they self organize, and the network evolves to global spatio-temporal period-2 attractors that encode stored patterns. The performance of associative memories arrangements is measured through the average error in pattern recovery, under several levels of prompting noise. The impact of the synaptic connections magnitude on architecture performance is analyzed in detail, through pattern recovery performance measures and basin of attraction characterization. The importance of a planned choice of the synaptic connections scale in RPEs architectures is shown. A strategy for minimizing pattern recovery degradation when the number of stored patterns increases is developed. Experimental results show the success of such strategy. Mechanisms for allowing the studied associative networks to deal with asynchronous changes in input patterns, and tools for the interconnection between different associative assemblies are developed. Finally, coupling in heterogeneous assemblies with diverse recursive maps is analyzed, and the associated synaptic connections are equated.
