Stability of the replica symmetric solution for the information conveyed by by a neural network
Abstract
The information that a pattern of firing in the output layer of a feedforward network of threshold-linear neurons conveys about the network's inputs is considered. A replica-symmetric solution is found to be stable for all but small amounts of noise. The region of instability depends on the contribution of the threshold and the sparseness: for distributed pattern distributions, the unstable region extends to higher noise variances than for very sparse distributions, for which it is almost nonexistant.Keywords
