Content

  • QuadProg - Python code for finding maximal $\kappa_\mathrm{in}$ and maximal $\kappa_\mathrm{out}$ weights for a sign and norm constrained Perceptron.

  • Theory - Python code for numerical solution of the saddle point equations.

  • Recurrent - Python code for simulation of recurrent associative memory networks

  • PerceptronLearning - Julia code for perceptron learning in the presence of input and output noise.

  • LIFsim - Simulations of LIF neurons performing classification with Balanced and unbalances weights (Python w. custom C++ extention module).

Example code is given in Jupyter notebooks in QuadProg, Theory, Recurrent and LIFsim.

Dependencies

  • Python 3
  • Jupyter
  • Numpy
  • CVXOPT
