Optimization with Neural Networks

Söderberg, Bo LU (1999) In Lecture Notes in Physics 522. p.243-256
Abstract (Swedish)
The recurrent neural network approach to combinatorial optimization has during the last decade evolved into a competitive and versatile heuristic method, that can be used on a wide range of problem types. In the state-of-the-art neural approach the discrete elementary decisions (not necessarily binary) are represented by continuous Potts mean-field neurons, interpolating between the available discrete states, with a dynamics based on iteration of a set of mean-field equations. Driven by annealing in an artificial temperature, they will converge into a candidate solution.
