Abstract

We use replica theory to analyse layered networks of binary neurons, with lateral Hebbian-type synapses within individual layers, in combination with strictly feed-forward Hebbian-type synapses between successive layers. The competition between two qualitatively different modes of operation, feed-forward versus lateral, induces interesting transitions, and allows for the identification of an optimal value for the balance between the two synapse types.
