Information and Learning in Neural Systems
Subhash Kak
Abstract
This paper presents a brief account of my research on applying information to neural
systems. Although information in physical systems is measured in terms of entropy,
it also has a subjective meaning that plays a role in cognition and creativity. To cover
the broader meaning of information, I developed learning mechanisms that can
recall given a fragment of the memory and proposed a model for instantaneous
learning in a neural network. Further, I introduced the notion of quantum neural
computing and investigated new aspects of quantum entropy. I have also examined
the question of learning from the perspective of the three languages of the brain:
associative, re‐organizational, and quantum
