Abstract

In sequence learning studies we can distinguish two fundamental approaches: general-regularity learning and specific sequence learning. Because it is possible to focus on only one of the two aspects we consider a Boolean neural network achieving specific sequence learning. An adaptable Boolean neural network is described in which time representation is implicit. This means giving the neural network dynamic properties which are responsive to temporal sequences.
