bidirectional interaction?

Open qihongl opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

How can I implement bi-directional projections in PsyNeuLink (e.g. the kind of projections used in the Interactive Activation and Competition model)? I want to get a recurrent system that can do pattern completion. It would be great if there are some working examples, but some high-level suggestions would be good enough! Thanks!

There are several ways. The easiest is to use an existing Mechanism. The most general is a RecurrentTransferMechanism. There is also a subclass of that, LCA (for leaky competitive accumulator) that implements the Usher & McClelland (2001) model. Finally, there is an implementation of a Leabra mechanism. That is less well tested, and has known limitations, but if you specifically wanted to include that learning algorithm (for hcmp simulations), then that might be a way to go.
