Spiking Boltzmann Machines

Abstract

We first show how to represent sharp posterior probability distribu(cid:173) tions using real valued coefficients on broadly-tuned basis functions. Then we show how the precise times of spikes can be used to con(cid:173) vey the real-valued coefficients on the basis functions quickly and accurately. Finally we describe a simple simulation in which spik(cid:173) ing neurons learn to model an image sequence by fitting a dynamic generative model.
